Still unfinished after 143 years, the wondrous cathedral of La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona recently became the tallest church in the world. Full of surprises at every turn, it awes with innovative engineering and wildly creative design. We will explore his extraordinary achievement, uncovering the ideas, innovations, and symbolism that make La Sagrada Familia unlike any other building in the world.
