Delayed by wars, politics and funding shortfalls, Sagrada Família’s imposing but unfinished presence has dominated Barcelona’s skyline for decades. Now, the long-awaited final tower is, at last, ready for its inauguration, marking 100 years since the death of the church’s visionary architect, Antoni Gaudí.
The final tower of Barcelona's Sagrada Família is complete, 144 years after construction began.
Pope Leo XIV will inaugurate the Tower of Jesus Christ on Wednesday, exactly 100 years after architect Antoni Gaudí died.
Plans for the basilica's entranceway have generated tension with residents, who fear their homes and businesses may be demolished.
