Short description

Construction on the Sagrada Familia began in 1882 and Antoni Gaudi took over its direction starting in 1883. With a personal vision, the brilliant architect realized very early that he would not be able to complete his work during his lifetime. To prevent the site from being abandoned after his death, he intentionally began work on the exterior façade and not the central nave. The construction, financed only by donations, was interrupted several times when the money ran out. Does building a cathedral still make sense in our times? It is necessary to have faith to continue? Must Gaudi's plans be followed to the letter, or only in spirit?
