Sagrada Familia, Barcelona
Construction began in 1882 and its formal title is Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família. Antoni Gaudí worked on the project for over 40 years, devoting the last 15 years of his life entirely to this endeavour.

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.
