Antoni Gaudi's Masterpiece













Considered his masterpiece, Gaudi devoted the latter years of his life to the construction of the Sagrada Familia. When finished some time around 2030, the church will have a total of 18 towers and accommodate 13,000 people with a central spire reaching a height of 170m.. We've been coming here with PSU students since 1996 and it's amazing to watch the progress of its construction - the church nave has evolved from a construction site to an awe-inspiring place for services. The views over Barcelona from the towers are as memorable as the jelly-legged descent down the tower's spiral interior.
