Beautiful Churches: The Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Familia

By The Editors Published on December 19, 2015

Better known as Sagrada Familia, this massive Catholic church can be found in Barcelona, Spain.

The land for this church was bought in 1877, but construction didn’t start until 1882. Work on Sagrada Familia has been progressing since then and plans are set for it to be finished in 2026.
