After over 140 years, construction on the world’s tallest (and arguably strangest) church is finally finished…sort of. No church—or any other building, for that matter—resembles the Sagrada Família. Although work on the Sagrada Família has progressed almost continually since 1940 thanks to private funding, there was a time when its completion looked uncertain. The Sagrada Família is not without its detractors. If all goes according to plan, the Sagrada Família will finally reach completion by 2034—a full 152 years after breaking ground.
