Barcelona, Spain – The Sagrada Familia, the iconic basilica in Barcelona designed by architect Antoni Gaudí, is projected to be fully completed by 2026, marking the end of a construction process spanning more than 144 years. According to the Basilica de la Sagrada Familia Foundation, the final tower dedicated to Jesus Christ will be erected, bringing the total number of towers to 18.

What began as a modest church project in 1882 is now expected to become the tallest religious structure in Europe upon completion. The 2026 target date coincides with the centenary of Gaudí’s death, making the milestone particularly significant. Officials have confirmed that the entire structure will be finalized, with no further delays anticipated.
