100 plus years of contruction- La Sagrada Familia
Rosanna:
La Sagrada Familia
This church/museum is probably one of the most famous landmarks in Barcelona and even all of Spain. Construction began in 1882 on this privately funded Roman-Catholic church and the project is still not completed! Antonio Gaudi designed this masterpiece and devoted the last 15 years of his life to this church. Depending on from where you are looking at the church you might see differences is the building color/materials due to the many different artists that have stepped in to try and complete the project. Lots of controversy surrounding the church has come up in recent years by historians, locals and other artists who think the project is taking a turn from Gaudis original plans. The completion date varies depending on who you talk to but there is word that part of the building will open for worship in late 2010 and be consecrated by Pope Benedict XVI. No matter the issues surrounding the church it is one of the most breathtaking structures we have ever seen!
