La Sagrada Familia – Barcelona, Spain
This majestic church, which is formally called the Basilica i Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Familia, has become an emblem of both Barcelona and of the Art Nouveau architectural movement. Although he wasn’t actually attached to the project when it began, architect Antoni Gaudi’s vision became the guiding light for this structure, and it remains forever associated with him, even though he died before the building was even close to completion.
It still remains incomplete to this day – the current estimated date for completion is 2026. If you visit, try to ignore the scaffolding, and picture how extraordinary it will look when the structure is finished.
