La Sagrada Familia

La Sagrada Familia is the iconic basilica in Barcelona designed by Antoni Gaudí. Construction continues, and the organization responsible for its completion, the Junta Constructora, is currently in advanced negotiations with the Barcelona City Council regarding the impact of the ongoing construction on neighboring residents. Specifically, discussions revolve around ensuring that no residents will be displaced due to the construction of the final facade. Recent news highlights the progress in these negotiations, with the Junta Constructora expressing optimism about reaching an agreement. The basilica is nearing completion, marked by the recent crowning with a four-armed cross, making it the tallest basilica and building in Barcelona. The upcoming centenary of Gaudí's death and a confirmed visit from the Pope to preside over a mass in his honor on June 10th further underscore the project's current relevance and significance.
