Colossal facade arches, brilliant stained glass windows and other thoughtful elements present an amazing sight. The sights of Europe in this theme are very diverse, but the architectural masterpiece of the great Antonio Gaudi is especially impressive in its details. The inside of the Church of the Holy Family (as its name is translated) is no less interesting than the outside. At the top of the church tower there is an observation deck with stunning panoramic views of Barcelona.

After Gaudí's death, his closest associate Domènec Sugrañes i Gras, who had worked with Gaudí since 1902 and helped in the construction of the Sagrada Familia and many other famous buildings (for example, Casa Batlló and Casa Mila), took over the work. Before his death in 1938, D. Sugranes managed to complete the construction of the three remaining bell towers of the Nativity facade (1927-1930), completed work on the ceramic cypress crowning the central entrance of the facade, and also conducted a number of studies on the rigidity of structures. The outbreak of the Spanish Civil War prevented construction from continuing. To top the misfortunes, during a fire in 1936, many drawings and models stored in Gaudí's workshop were destroyed. Fortunately, some of them were later restored. Construction of the Nativity façade was continued only in 1952. This year the staircase was completed and the façade was illuminated for the first time, which has become permanent since 1964.

The construction, which began and continues exclusively with private donations, is being carried out on a site that does not belong to the Church and is not supervised by the episcopate.

The first project was developed by the architect Francisco del Villar, who was replaced by Antonio Gaudi at the end of 1883, who significantly changed the original project. According to the decision of the initiators of the construction of the temple, financing of the work should be carried out exclusively through donations from parishioners, which is one of the reasons for such a long construction.
