56. Sagarda Familia Basilica
By Antonia Gaudi

72. The church plan is that of a Latin cross with five aisles. The central nave vaults reach forty-five metres (150 ft) while
the side nave vaults reach thirty metre (100 ft). The transept has three aisles. The columns are on a 7.5 metre (25 ft)
grid. However, the columns of the apse, resting on del Villar's foundation, do not adhere to the grid, requiring a
section of columns of the ambulatory to transition to the grid thus creating a horseshoe pattern to the layout of
those columns. The crossing rests on the four central columns of porphyry supporting a great hyperboloid
surrounded by two rings of twelve hyperboloids (currently under construction). The central vault reaches sixty
metres (200 ft).
