The "Templo Expiatório da Sagrada
Família" is probably the most interesting and architecturally
exciting basilica that I have visited. I truly hope that I
will be able to visit this extraordinary building when it is
completely finished, probably in 2026/2027...
Construction of the Sagrada
Família began in March 1882 under architect Francisco de Paula
del Villar. In 1883, when Villar resigned, Gaudí took over as
chief architect, transforming the project with his architectural
and engineering style, combining Gothic and curvilinear Art
Nouveau forms.
