The Forever Cathedral
Why is the Sagrada Família still being built?
Barcelona has a church that's been under construction for over 140 years. Cranes tower over its spires. Scaffolding wraps around stone columns. If you visited as a kid and come back as a grandparent, it's still not done. Why?
The architect Antoni Gaudí started designing it in 1882 with a wild vision: a forest made of stone. He wanted columns that branched like trees, towers that spiraled like seashells, and facades covered in sculptures of everyone from shepherds to angels. No church had ever looked like what he drew.
