The Sagrada Família is Barcelona's most famous landmark and one of the world's most extraordinary architectural achievements. Designed by Antoni Gaudí, this UNESCO World Heritage Site attracts millions of visitors each year with its striking facades, soaring towers and spectacular interior filled with coloured light.
Construction of the basilica began in 1882, and Gaudí took over the project the following year, transforming it into a visionary masterpiece inspired by nature, faith and geometry. Organic shapes, intricate sculptures and impressive stained glass windows create an atmosphere unlike any other church in the world. Every detail reflects Gaudí's belief that architecture should mirror the beauty and harmony of nature.
Although Antoni Gaudí dedicated the final decades of his life almost entirely to the Sagrada Família, he did not live to see its completion. When he died in 1926, only a small part of the basilica had been finished. Today, architects and craftsmen continue working according to his original vision, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern construction techniques.
Visitors entering the Sagrada Família can admire its breathtaking interior, discover the symbolism behind its façades and enjoy panoramic views from selected towers. The basilica remains one of the most visited attractions in Spain and is considered an essential experience for anyone exploring Barcelona.
With the Barcelona City Pass, visitors can experience Antoni Gaudí's masterpiece and discover one of Europe's most remarkable architectural treasures.
In 2026, Barcelona commemorates the 100th anniversary of Antoni Gaudí's death with a year-long cultural programme dedicated to the architect who shaped the city's identity. Exhibitions, concerts, conferences and special events take place across Barcelona, highlighting Gaudí's artistic, spiritual and architectural legacy.
The Sagrada Família stands at the centre of these celebrations. Throughout 2026, visitors can experience commemorative events, cultural activities and exhibitions that explore the close relationship between Gaudí, the basilica and Barcelona itself. One of the highlights is the exhibition "The Sagrada Família and Barcelona: 144 Years of a Shared Journey", which traces the history of the temple alongside the evolution of the city.
The centenary year also marks an important milestone in the construction of the basilica. The completion and inauguration of the Tower of Jesus Christ, the tallest tower of the Sagrada Família, symbolises a new chapter in the history of Gaudí's unfinished masterpiece. Special ceremonies and international attention are expected to make 2026 one of the most significant years in the monument's history.
For travellers visiting Barcelona in 2026, the Gaudí centenary offers a unique opportunity to experience the city at a particularly exciting moment. From the Sagrada Família to Park Güell, Casa Batlló and Casa Milà, Gaudí's creations become the stage for a celebration that honours one of the greatest architects in history.
