When I was young, the construction was estimated to take 300 years, which is consistent with the great cathedrals of the past. It is amazing how much computer guided stone cutting has sped the process up and it will be finished in my lifetime. A finish in 2026 after starting in 1882 is actually a very fast construction rate, considering how intricate the artist expression of the building is.

We were there last week and they've changed the finish time to 2032.

There is also a huge political problem which might delay the construction: The two squares in front and one at the back were supposed to be parks, like the ones on the side, forming a green cross with the basilica in the center. The facade actually needs to take half of the block it has in front in order to build the stairs. The problem lies in that construction of residential buildings was allowed on those squares, with some legal clauses stating buildings should be demolished when the construction needed the space. Now the day is getting closer, and there are families living there, not only that, the landlords make a shitton of money renting the flats to tourists. So there's a heavy lobbying and press campaign to halt construction indefinetly. Greed maketh man.

This building is considered fine wine at this point the longer the construction lasts the better it gets.

The average time to build a cathedral here in UK has been 250-300 years, with Bristol Cathedral taking almost 700 years. Sagrada Familia has so far been supersonic in its speed of construction.

The the la sagrada familia

One of a very few buildings to give me a strong emotional response just from walking in the door

When I first visited in 1977, I asked when it would be completed. The answer was "give us another 50 to 100 years. It seems the low end of the estimate was correct. I hope to see it finished, although I will be nearly 80 years old. I refer to the architectural style as "art deco on steroids."

The "La Sagrada Familia" translates as "The the Sacred Family". Please don't write the "La"

I went to see it today! My second visit, it's stunning.

I went to Barcelona to see la sagrada familia I Walk upstairs the train stop and turn around one of the streets and I see that majestic structure front of me still feel the emotion.

Building Cathedrals usually take 3, 4, 5 or even more centuries. I know nowadays we have more technology, but still a big cathedral with a very modern architecture. So only one century and a half it´s not too bad.

There’s a small shop off to the side of the building. You can see examples of how Gaudi used natural shapes to design the interior. Pure genius.

I first saw La Sagrada in 1967 while in Spain for my honeymoon. I saw it again in March 0f 2022. Neither words nor video can adequately describe its astonishing appearance. It should be on everyones; (religious or not), bucket list. It should not however be described as a 'cathedral'. There is already a cathedral in Barcelona, a dark, grim, monstrosity and the contrast couldn't be greater. The Sagrada is light, colourful, and airy!

are you calling a gothic medieval marvel like the Cathedral of Barcelona a "dark, grim monstrosity"? Shame on you and your knowledge of art history.

"The la" is "the the" and therefore obviously redundant, and hearing it so often is making me twitch.

Barcelona,La Sagrada Familia.A. Landmark that still stand today as an Architectural Wonder.I 've Seen it in 1996 while our Ship called the port of Barcelona for my own last trip in Contract !Awesome Structure !

If you think that takes a long time. Remember, the church of Notre Dame took over 200 years to complete.

I'm excited that it's almost done! Just a few more years to go. It's definitely on my bucket list of places to visit before I die. It doesn't surprise me at all that it's taken so long. It was too ambitious a task back in the 19th century. Technology needed to catch up to make it possible.

I love how it already looks heavily eroded and decayed. Adds a very oppressive and dark atmosphere. It's like something you would have to fight through in a fromsoft game.

I got to visit it in March 2020. I spent a half a day exploring and gawking Simply stunning inside and out

What ever it takes ….. I love that they take their time to make it right . In american they build anything on a rush some screws , stucco and is good to go . No one takes more pride then Europe as far as architecture

I'm not religious, but I have enough faith in humanity to know that this... piece of art and history WILL be completed. What's the alternative?

Thank you for this video, incredible to see in photos, and video, the history was very interesting, and not too long!

Well Gaudi had most plans made, but in 1936 the anarchists broke into the crypt and burned most of them. Construction stood still for a couple of years, then it picked up again in an effort to finish it for the Barcelona olympics, and from then on it took momentum. By the way. Reinforced concrete is a common construction technique or material of you want to call it so.

Opened as a working church in 2010.

That warms my heart that his builds going to be done on an anniversary

to finish the Duomo di Milano it tooks from 1386 to 1965...

I visited in 2006 and it literally shocked me….like took my breath away

I visited this year , the most incredible cathedral I have seen.

It took hundreds of years to complete the other cathedrals as well

I was visiting the Sagrada Familia in 2001 and they told us it will be finished by 2012. I believe that church is a huge business and for that reason, it will never be finished because they are building something that Gaudi never draw.

Outstanding presentation, 🙌🏽🙌🏽

It is not the first such building. Cologne Cathedral took 600 years to be completed.

You should do an video on North America’s largest wooden church, designed in the chateau style. It’s potentially going to be demolished. Eglise st. Marie, church point, Nova Scotia, Canada
