Prominent landmark of Barcelona and foremost Gaudí heritage, charm of the Sagrada Familia is that it will not be finished for decades to come.
In this city of Gaudí, the Sagrada Familia is the biggest project of the famous architect and artist. It can easily be called his masterpiece, because he worked over 40 years on it. The most interesting part of the story is, of course, that it has never been finished. In fact, while visiting the site, workers are busy everywhere, and you inevitably see huge cranes as if they were additional bell towers to the temple. At first, they might be disturbing to the visitor, until you realize they are an integral part of the Sagrada Familia. In fact, the project of the church has seen misfortune, first when Gaudí was overrun by a streetcar and died (he actually only saw one of the belltowers), and then in the civil war when many of his models of the Sagrada Familia were destroyed.
