The spectacular Basilica de la Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, Spain is the largest unfinished Roman Catholic Church in the world. Designed by architect Antoni Gaudí, construction began in 1882 and combines Gothic Revival, curvilinear Art Nouveau, and Modernista architectural forms.

Today, 9 of the total 18 planned towers have been completed and the rest of the construction is anticipated to be completed by 2026, the centenary of Gaudí’s death.
