TL;DR

The iconic Sagrada Familia in Barcelona is set to be completed in 2026, over 140 years after construction began. The final tower, dedicated to Jesus Christ, will reach 172.5 meters and feature a 17-meter-tall cross. Designed by Antoni Gaudí, the basilica's completion will make it the world's tallest church. Construction was interrupted by the Spanish Civil War and carried out illegally for 137 years until a building permit was finally issued in 2019.
