The High Light Sagrada Familia August 2024 Sagrada Família, is a church under construction in the district of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. It is the largest unfinished Catholic church in the world.

In November 2010, Pope Benedict XVI consecrated the church and proclaimed it a minor basilica. In March 1882, construction commenced under architect Francisco de Paula del Villar. In 1883, de Paula del Villar resigned and Antoni Gaudí took over as chief architect, transforming the project with his architectural and engineering style, combining Gothic and curvilinear Art Nouveau forms.
