The document summarizes the history and construction of Antoni Gaudi's iconic Basilica of the Holy Family (La Sagrada Familia) in Barcelona, Spain. It describes how work began in 1882 but Gaudi assumed direction in 1883. Most of Gaudi's plans and drawings were destroyed during the Spanish Civil War in 1936. Construction has continued since then to remain faithful to Gaudi's original vision, with the goal of having 18 towers when complete, including a 170-meter central tower dedicated to Jesus. Gaudi dedicated his life to the project and died in 1926 before its completion, believing the timing was up to God.
