Episode Description

The Sagrada Familia is more than just a church. It is Barcelona’s most famous landmark, Antoni Gaudí’s unfinished masterpiece, and one of the most ambitious buildings ever conceived.

In this episode of Architecture Topics, we'll dive into the fascinating story of the Sagrada Familia. From its humble beginnings as a modest parish project, to Gaudí’s radical redesign, to the slow, controversial, and still unfinished construction that has captivated the world for over 140 years.

If you have ever wondered why the Sagrada Familia is still under construction or what it really means to Barcelona, this is the story you have been waiting for.

Listen now to discover the vision, the struggle, and the patience behind one of the greatest architectural works of all time.
