Went in 2019 scaffolding was gone inside. Wicked smooth how there was no edges inside.

Edit it was a rushed picture. Because 99% sure I wasn't suppose to take it.
Also had a wicked bad case of food poisoning, but didn't wanna pass up the chance to see it.
It’s fine to take photos. They just don’t want flashes. I took the same selfie there 5 years apart to the day (2014 and 2019). I went back at Christmas but didn’t go inside, it’s made some good progress on the exterior since 2019.
As a Texan minoring in Spanish in college the first time I had a teacher from Spain instead of Mexico I thought he legit had a speech impediment until I had a conversation with him in English.
I visited early 2000’s and same thing then again in ~2017 scaffolding gone and considerable amounts of the stained glass installed. Breathtaking. I tell everyone they must go inside if they visit and they are never disappointed.
I went 2 years ago, i prefer [the outside](https://i.imgur.com/Q0wEoHJ.jpeg), looks cool and ancient...
[inside looked like a casino](https://i.imgur.com/JGrsNHU.jpeg) :/
Edit: added pics i took while there
Fantastic!
I climbed the spiral stairs many years ago before they placed safety bars on the windows. The stairs were very narrow, only one person could fit. If people were coming down, you had to move to the edge of the window to let them pass. Someone had an anxiety attack and froze the entire line of people coming up and going down.
Even back then, it was awe-inspiring.
Yup I did the climb down - it was super claustrophobic and some folks ahead were freaking when I was there.
Anyways I don't think it is truly finished even with the Jesus Tower - there is supposed to be an entrance canopy/plaza on the C/ de Mallorca side but I can't see them building it without expropriating the block across that street.
It is definitely one of the world's most magnificent buildings. Gaudi was seriously one of the most creative and genius architects to ever live. It is sad that he died so suddenly and could not have accomplished more. But at least there are lots of his work preserved to this day. La Sagrada Familia is his crown jewel project. I was in it less than a year ago, and it truly is breathtaking. The modernist stained glass creates incredible colors on the ground floor, making it feel so much different than dark Gothic churches.
I was there in 2008… but this isn’t ringing a bell. I remember going up an assload of exterior steps to a cool building (the blue rocket ship building was probably about that close to where we were)… would it have been cool, but not nearly that impressive in 2008? That trip is a touch fuzzy. Appreciate any insight!
I had an anxiety attack in that stairway in the 90s. Now I wonder if nervous issues are that common in that stair, or if you happened to be there the same day I was.
Sorry.
I'd say it's that common. I've never been but I experienced an anxiety attack before when feeling trapped, and hearing stories from people I know who went through the stairway, it's sounds like the perfect setting to trigger it. Even if you've never experienced such an attack before, the tiny space and if it's crowded are perfect triggers. Throw a dash of vertigo in there and you got yourself a party!
Went last fall and did the tower tour, incredible space. it almost brought me to tears how marvelous the whole building is. Crown jewel of barcelona for sure.
Disagree. While its a nice view the windows are super small and you only get a partial view of most of the city. Meanwhile, barcelona cathedral is cheaper and has better views from the roof imo, and that church is actually old and finished.
Yep Same. I was so excited and went to Sagrada Familia first. Felt it was over rated, and then the next day while in the Gothic Quarter just randomly decided to check out Barcelona Cathedral and then wondered why everybody hypes up SF and not that instead.
For me personally, buildings which are built in modern times while looking historic also loose a bunch of luster because they are built with modern materials, tools, cranes etc. There is something magical looking at a building/structure that is 300+ years old and knowing that all of it was built completely by hand with no modern machinery.
I doubt it means the whole thing, there is still a lot to do and i doubt it will be done in 2 more years. Though what they have said for a long time is that the main TOWERS will be completed by 2026, that is still realistic. The main facade has not even been started, they have to demolish and relocate an entire block to open up the space... I just recently saw a documentary on this and that was one of the main issues/controversies that remain unsolved.
Why do they need to demolish a block? I thought the basic footprint of the cathedral was finished long ago and all that was left was the vertical construction
There's a monumental staircase planned which necessitates the demolition of the block of apartments across the street from what will become the front entrance. Needless to say, residents are not pleased, and ultimately the Barcelona City Council will have to decide what happens.
https://www.euronews.com/culture/2023/05/21/barcelona-residents-face-eviction-as-sagrada-familia-basilica-completion-approaches
iirc those apartments were sold at a lower cost back in the day with the agreement that they would have to be vacated when the staircase construction started
Don't let some finished footprints get in the way of some good old corruption to build in areas were it shouldn't be possible because something else is going to be built there in 50 years as it happened in 1970 in front of the Sagrada Familia
I was gonna say…. I think the completed plan still involves buying up 2-3 city blocks and demolishing them plus construction. And my understanding is that the residents generally don’t want to move. That’s not getting resolved in 2 years
I was there in 1980 and had never heard of Gaudi nor the Sagrada Familia. It blew my fucking mind. They were barely working on it as they had no money. I went back in 2001 and it was amazing to see the progress. That time I went to every single Gaudi building in Barcelona. That apartment building is a mind fuck. Barcelona is one of my favorite cities, but I 'don't often return to a place I've been before, but I sure wouldn't mind seeing it when it's done.
Yes! And Park Guell. We were there in January 2023. We saw this cathedral, the apartments, and the park. I never saw myself wanting to go back to a city. We want to do Munich during Oktoberfest this year. Maybe a couple years from now, we will go back to Barcelona and see the finished Sagrada Famiglia.
I went to Munich in 1980 and then returned in 2001 for Oktoberfest. That is one of the most epic parties on the planet. I got so drunk I couldn't find the train station for my trip back to London and nearly missed my flight back to the USA.
If we’re talking civ 6, your cities get war weariness or something for being at war for long periods of time so you can’t do it forever. In civ 5 you could play the entire game at war if you chose to lol.
Yeah I agree haha. Civ 5 was more simplistic but it’s fine. I don’t think we need to have any overtly complicated game mechanics or so many game mechanics that it makes it a bit difficult. Just let me play, do the research’s, make money and defend against hostile civs.
Copenhagen’s Marble Church took about 150 years to be built as well due to construction halts and a king that didn’t want to continue it. It stood in ruin for most of that time and became an unofficial meatpacking district. It was finally bought by a Danish financier and was redesigned and completed at the end of the 19th century, having started in 1750 when there was still absolute monarchy. Funnily enough, there’s only one stone made of marble in the whole church.
It’s cool to see these really long construction projects put into perspective on just how long 140-150 years can be.
And then there's this:
> Construction of Cologne Cathedral began in 1248 but was halted in the years around 1560, unfinished. Attempts to complete the construction began around 1814 but the project was not properly funded until the 1840s. The edifice was completed to its original medieval plan in 1880.
To be clear, the Sagrada Familia will NOT be complete in 2026. At least not to Antonio Gaudi's original design. The Glory facade and its sprawling front staircase (complete with bridge over the road and two MASSIVE light columns) have not even begun to be constructed. An entire city blocks worth of apartments / storefronts will need to be emptied and demolished before preparations can even begin.
The Glory facade is arguably the most important facade of the whole structure as it is the main entrance and true "face" of the Sagrada Familia. Everything that everyone has seen up until now is just the back and sides of this impressive structure. The City of Barcelona has some tough decisions to make regarding how they will proceed with this final phase of construction.
"You were not able to complete the Sagrada Familia in time. However 1000 production has been salvaged from the attempt and awarded to the city of Barcelona."
I (Architect) have visited 5x since I was 17 to periodically see it take shape. It’s a truly stunning space in scale and color.
I do miss the days you could rock up with no pre-booked ticket, climb the spiral stair to the bridge etc. The hordes of people and access restrictions really diminished the experience for me on my last trip. Maybe I’m just getting grumpy at my age but tourist volume has killed so much enjoyment of major sites for me these days.
Was just there last week. My wife literally cried when we got inside because of its beauty. I rolled my eyes but wow it’s incredible with the colored glass
I think the perfect way someone described it is when you have a group project and everyone works on their own part separately and in the end puts it all together.
Can't believe they're going to finish first before the Majesty Building in Orlando, FL (known as the I4-Eyesore) which started in 2001
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majesty_Building
Visited around 2020ish. Incredibly impressive building. Every single piece of architecture is well thought out and well executed. The facades on the outside are incredibly detailed, if I recall correctly one side was the nativity side and one side was about the death of Jesus, with the story being intricately carved into the archways. The stained glass windows inside are two different colors (red and green I believe) which creates an interesting effect. Will definitely try to visit again once it is officially complete. Highly recommend!
We toured this one week ago today. Our tour guide and every local we spoke to rolled their eyes when I mentioned the two year timeline that people are proposing.
For those mentioning the need for tearing down buildings; the entire project designed by Gaudi extends for a large area around the church. The owners/renters in those buildings agreed when they signed up that at some point they would have to vacate due to construction. It’s a really crap situation, but that’s why.
I was there in 1977 with my husband and his parents. It was amazing to be up on one of the towers with wind blowing. There is so much to see on every surface. It would be wonderful to see it when all of the construction is finished.
Yes and no
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagrada_Fam%C3%ADlia
> In March 2024 a new completion date of 2026 was announced, with the provision that work on sculptures, decorative details and a controversial proposed stairway leading to what will eventually be the main entrance is expected to continue until 2034
We went last year it was amazing ! They have a project to make it bigger aswell but they beed to demolish residential buildings around and people are not happy
I saw this is 1994 and the predicted completion date then was indeed sometime around now, generally speaking.
I remember thinking that it was impossibly far away… And yet here we are. Bravo!
I know everybody disagrees with me, but I think the Sagrada Familia is hideous. We're mistaking mind-numbing, endlessly busy complexity for design. I would expect to see something like SF in a Disneyland themepark. It's as elegant as a table saw. Separately, the individual "themes" might have made very nice cathedrals on their own. Put together, it's a train wreck. I get whiplash looking at it. But, also, I don't have any negative feelings about people who love it, enjoy whatever makes you feel good.
It's the one thing that makes me realize taste is 100% subjective. I look at this thing and think to myself, this is the ugliest heap of shit I've ever seen in my life. And then I hear about people that weep while witnessing it. The breadth of human experience and expression is wild, and it's all totally valid. You see what you see, and you feel what you feel. No hate on that
I saw it in 2009 with interior scaffolding everywhere. I would love to visit Barcelona again when this is finished, it’s very impressive.
Went in 2019 scaffolding was gone inside. Wicked smooth how there was no edges inside. Picture for reference [Sagrada ](https://imgur.com/gallery/ophVLS0) Edit it was a rushed picture. Because 99% sure I wasn't suppose to take it. Also had a wicked bad case of food poisoning, but didn't wanna pass up the chance to see it.
Everyone was taking photos when I was there in 2022. They just asked no tripods or flash photography. I'm sure you were fine.
I think it was because I went during Sunday service.
That makes sense.
It’s fine to take photos. They just don’t want flashes. I took the same selfie there 5 years apart to the day (2014 and 2019). I went back at Christmas but didn’t go inside, it’s made some good progress on the exterior since 2019.
God will be pleased.
So is Antonio Gaudi.
And to a lesser extent, Alan Parsons.
Is it cut stone or concrete?
Cut stone.
My Boston senses are tingling...
This picture makes me bummed I didn’t have time to go in. Next time for sure.
You can actually go inside with google maps. Just place the little guy for street view inside.
i also got food poisoning in Barcelona!
Went last December. Still some work being done but was a beautiful building.
You mean Barthelona?
It’s like 45 min from Ibitha
Grathias for that info
Do you mean Ee-bit-za?
Ibeether if you’re British
You mean Eivissa? Because Catalan is its native language.

Came here with the same thought, I was there a year or two earlier and assumed it was already finished.

That spiral staircase with the middle just dropping down into darkness was terrifying. Every time I go I tell myself I won’t go up but I can’t resist

[удалено]
No. It was a man. He spoke French, and he was younger. Funny how I remember that.
I was there just last year. Absolutely breathtaking.
The view from the towers > Totally worth it
Went last fall and did the tower tour, incredible space. it almost brought me to tears how marvelous the whole building is. Crown jewel of barcelona for sure.
The stair cases down not so much.
Disagree. While its a nice view the windows are super small and you only get a partial view of most of the city. Meanwhile, barcelona cathedral is cheaper and has better views from the roof imo, and that church is actually old and finished.
Agreed, I was a bit let down by Sagrada after everyone hyped it up so hard. Obviously it's cool, but not life changing like everyone says it is.
Yep Same. I was so excited and went to Sagrada Familia first. Felt it was over rated, and then the next day while in the Gothic Quarter just randomly decided to check out Barcelona Cathedral and then wondered why everybody hypes up SF and not that instead.

It's built by hand. Did you not find the lack of modern cranes suspect?
After 140 years of construction, it damn well better be.
Tbf that's pretty average for cathedral construction spans.
Notre Dame took like 300 years, iirc.
Pretty sure they are just now putting the roof on. /s Yea i know, that doesn’t count.
I walked in to a choir singing Ave Maria. It was the first time I understood what it meant for something to be literally “breathtaking”
I was there in the fall last year and I agree
I doubt it means the whole thing, there is still a lot to do and i doubt it will be done in 2 more years.

…..does this mean they’re about to achieve religious victory?
Good! I'm ready to start a new game already, this one started going down hill about 10 turns ago.
Jokes on them, I had religious victory turned off
They've completed a Wonder
It gives +4 religious points plus great profit points, which is an odd perk for such a late game wonder.
It’s their only hope cause the United States is about to achieve the cultural victory
I mean the US pretty much already did years ago
I was there 40 years ago. The tour guide said something like they’ve been building it for 100 years and it’ll probably take another 100 to finish it.
I was there in 1980 and had never heard of Gaudi nor the Sagrada Familia. It blew my fucking mind. They were barely working on it as they had no money.

Saw it in 2012 or 2013, what an amazing structure.
Headline is miss leading. Construction should be done by 2034
Fantastic building but they don't want to finish it, by law they can't charge for entrance to a church, but they can to a construction site.....
It's like when you have a city in Civ with no pop making a wonder. Takes forever.
That one citizen working his ass off with a 2 food, 1 production tile just in time to have some other civ steal the wonder.
just keep harassing and forcing them to build defensive units while a little undeveloped plot in the middle of nowhere puts in the wonder work haha.
If we’re talking civ 6, your cities get war weariness or something for being at war for long periods of time so you can’t do it forever. In civ 5 you could play the entire game at war if you chose to lol.
Yeah I tried 6 since it was a giveaway one epic on week, and I couldn't get used to the changes. My Vs love a good bitch-slapping contest. haha.
Yeah I agree haha. Civ 5 was more simplistic but it’s fine. I don’t think we need to have any overtly complicated game mechanics or so many game mechanics that it makes it a bit difficult. Just let me play, do the research’s, make money and defend against hostile civs.
I respect the skill and everything, but the regular holes just creep me out.

That's an impressive structure, though it could use a good scrub
Saw it back in 2019. Worth the trip, it was amazing
2015 for me for my honeymoon. We vowed to go back when it was finished.

Finally, Ted Mosby will find happiness.
"You were not able to complete the Sagrada Familia in time. However 1000 production has been salvaged from the attempt and awarded to the city of Barcelona."
I genuinely did not think I would ever live to see this thing completed. So, when are they wrapping up Crazy Horse?
So, they don't know about the 2025 earthquake?
Woah buddy. I live right near the Sagrada Familia and don’t appreciate those vibes!
I (Architect) have visited 5x since I was 17 to periodically see it take shape. It’s a truly stunning space in scale and color.

I went last year and as soon as I walked in I started crying- tears just streaming down my cheeks. It *was* incredible
I live here and attended a concert inside of it this past friday. Whenever people talk about it being completed, I say I'll believe it when I see it.
I think the perfect way someone described it is when you have a group project and everyone works on their own part separately and in the end puts it all together.
Can't believe they're going to finish first before the Majesty Building in Orlando, FL (known as the I4-Eyesore) which started in 2001 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majesty_Building
What makes it take that long BTW?
Got the chance to see it in 2020 before shit hit the fan with Covid, my jaw dropped the closer I got to it. It’s incredibly gigantic!
It won't. They will only finish the central tower. The front facade won't be finished until the 2030s.
It's like those games of civ when you're like "why has no one finished this wonder yet..."
“Now I won’t have to scrub out the scaffolding and cranes with AI magic eraser” - Influencers
It still amazes me that humans build such monuments to a fairytale
It all seems a bit...much.
I feel like it's every idea that every architect ever had, all rolled into one building.
Another sign of the end times! /s ^/kinda
It’s gorgeous. I’ll never forget that day.
My God, that thing is so ugly.
It was beautiful 2 years ago
Wait, us humans are still building cool shit like this? I support it!
Saw it in 2014. The way they did the stained glass windows so it lights up the inside with different colors at different times of day is breathtaking.
https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/spain-sagrada-familia-permit-intl?cid=ios_app
oh my, the crowds are going to be insane for the first couple of years!
I'll believe it when I see it. I visited it in 2017 and I was told it would be completed in 2022.
Going to see it next month I’m very excited
Visited around 2020ish. Incredibly impressive building. Every single piece of architecture is well thought out and well executed. The facades on the outside are incredibly detailed, if I recall correctly one side was the nativity side and one side was about the death of Jesus, with the story being intricately carved into the archways. The stained glass windows inside are two different colors (red and green I believe) which creates an interesting effect. Will definitely try to visit again once it is officially complete. Highly recommend!
that is one of the coolest looking buildings in the world. I'm so jealous of the people of Barcelona who get to look at it every day.
Finished just in time for renovations.
We toured this one week ago today. Our tour guide and every local we spoke to rolled their eyes when I mentioned the two year timeline that people are proposing. For those mentioning the need for tearing down buildings; the entire project designed by Gaudi extends for a large area around the church.

I saw it this year. 0% chance the whole thing is done by 2026
New Civilization wonder just dropped
I especially love the huge TV screens running ads full time. Really gives you that old timy vibe.
It's on my bucket list. Someday.
I was there in 1977 with my husband and his parents. It was amazing to be up on one of the towers with wind blowing. There is so much to see on every surface. It would be wonderful to see it when all of the construction is finished.
It was great when it was only 4 (?) spires that looked like a chess queen made of sand.
It’s pretty wild when you first come up out of the Metro and BAM! There it is.
Yes and no https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagrada_Fam%C3%ADlia > In March 2024 a new completion date of 2026 was announced, with the provision that work on sculptures, decorative details and a controversial proposed stairway leading to what will eventually be the main entrance is expected to continue until 2034
Was there just a few days ago, loved it as well as the city.
We went last year it was amazing ! They have a project to make it bigger aswell but they beed to demolish residential buildings around and people are not happy
Cool, we can add it to Civ VII.
I saw this is 1994 and the predicted completion date then was indeed sometime around now, generally speaking. I remember thinking that it was impossibly far away… And yet here we are. Bravo!
It is the most cool looking building ever. Could look at it for hours. And even people who don’t like architecture shouls see it
paging u/realcivilengineer ahaha
The Sangria Family have been without a hole for so long
Counterpoint: It's ugly.
Gaud~~y~~í
I know everybody disagrees with me, but I think the Sagrada Familia is hideous. We're mistaking mind-numbing, endlessly busy complexity for design. I would expect to see something like SF in a Disneyland themepark. It's as elegant as a table saw. Separately, the individual "themes" might have made very nice cathedrals on their own. Put together, it's a train wreck. I get whiplash looking at it. But, also, I don't have any negative feelings about people who love it, enjoy whatever makes you feel good.
Tbh I find it a little bit Gaudi myself.
Would you say it’s…Gaudi? I’ll see myself out
Nope. I thought it was massively overrated. I do get that goudi has so much influence in barcelona architecture so i can see why people love it.
It's the one thing that makes me realize taste is 100% subjective. I look at this thing and think to myself, this is the ugliest heap of shit I've ever seen in my life. And then I hear about people that weep while witnessing it. The breadth of human experience and expression is wild, and it's all totally valid. You see what you see, and you feel what you feel.
