Cross installation completes Sagrada Família's central tower exterior

The Sagrada Família has completed the external works on its central Tower of Jesus Christ with the installation of the upper arm of the cross on February 20, 2026, making the six central towers externally complete. Interior work will continue through 2027–2028. The cross, 17 meters tall, was pre-assembled in seven sections and hoisted into place; inside the upper arm a sculpture of the Agnus Dei by Andrea Mastrovito will be installed. The milestone coincides with the centenary of Antoni Gaudí’s death and advances the project toward completion of the basilica.
