Barcelona\'s Sagrada Familia, designed by Antoni Gaudi, will be completed by 2026, marking 144 years since construction began. The church\'s four towers representing the evangelists were celebrated in November, with the final completion planned for 2026. The ongoing construction follows Gaudi\'s original designs lost in a 1930s fire. The completion date coincides with the centenary of Gaudi\'s death. A controversial stairway, part of the original plan, is expected to be finished by 2034 despite challenges. The Sagrada Familia has faced war, neglect, and financial issues in its lengthy construction history.
