Sagrada FamÃlia
 
La Sagrada FamÃlia (’The Holy Family’) is a large Roman Catholic basilica under construction in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. Construction began in 1882 and its formal title is Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada FamÃlia. Antoni Gaudà worked on the project for over 40 years, devoting the last 15 years of his life entirely to this endeavour. On the subject of the extremely long construction period, Gaudà is said to have joked, “My client is not in a hurry.” After GaudÃ’s death in 1926, work continued under the direction of Domènech Sugranyes until interrupted by the Spanish Civil War in 1935.
According to the newspaper, 2.26 million people visited the partially built basilica in 2004, making it one of the most popular attractions in Spain. Barcelona is great tourist spot with great people, food, wine and nightlife.
