La Sagrada Familia
La Sagrada Familia is the last of the most beautiful historical sites in this list. It is a UNESCO-listed, iconic but unfinished church in Barcelona that is also the final resting place of its architect, Antoni Gaudi.
The construction of La Sagrada Familia began in 1882 under the direction of architect Francisco de Paula del Villar and was later completed by Antoni Gaudi, Barcelona's most famous son. Gaudi worked on La Sagrada Familia for 43 years, seeing it as his holy mission, and putting his own money into the building when monies from the original commission went missing.
Despite its incomplete state, the stunning architecture of La Sagrada Familia attracts crowds of people each year. La Sagrada Familia is an iconic element of Barcelona, with its stunning facades, imposing towers, and underlying symbolism.
