Why the Sagrada is still incomplete after 140 years

The Sagrada Familia is a church that has been under construction for close to 140 years, so why exactly is it taking so long? And when will the construction be complete?

What beautiful storytelling! Kudos🎉

[@blessedarch]

Thank you so much ❤️

an amazing story told through a beautiful video. - the story of his death, allegedly is that he was walking backwards looking back at the building site trying to visualize how tall one of the towers was when run over by a tram. Tragic. I’ll add one more to Rishabh’s finals What If’s. What if Gaudi’s proposed skyscraper for Manhattan would have been built ! I had an opportunity to tour the site back when I was studying in barcelona in 2004. Can’t wait to see it finished. Thank you for the video Rishabh! Viviano

Amazing...the research efforts of digging up the names 👍

[@blessedarch]

It felt like the right way to honour all the effort that has gone into this magnificent structure.

I am currently writing a section for my art a level essay on Biomimicry in Architecture. I'd always heard of the Sagrada Familia from either friends or family who have visited, but after watching this video I am now urging to go there. This video helped me a lot with understanding its history, and it was explained so well :)) keep up the good work

If the church is completed by 2034 the number of years to completion will be 108 which is an auspicious number.

[@blessedarch]

Well it will be 108 years since Gaudi’s death. Technically it would be 152 years since the construction started
