| The spires of the Templo Expiatorio de la Sagrada Família (Church of the Holy Family), each more than 100 m (more than 328 ft) tall, dominate the skyline of Barcelona, Spain. In 1891, nine years after construction started on the neo-Gothic cathedral, Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí i Cornet took over as official architect and made the project a personal obsession. When Gaudí died in a trolley accident in 1926, the cathedral was left unfinished. Despite controversy over whether the cathedral should remain in its uncompleted form as a monument to the architect, construction began again in 1979, closely following Gaudí’s original vision. |
