La Sagrada FamÃliaOne of Catalonia's most intriguing landmarks, the bizarre Church
of the Holy Family designed by modernist architect Antoni Gaudi,
was started in 1882, but it remains unfinished and an object of
controversy. Gaudi worked on what was considered his masterpiece
until his death in 1926, imbuing the structure with his
characteristic Art Nouveau style. Work has continued sporadically
since, but Gaudi left no plans for its completion and the continued
construction has run rampant. The church site stands at the
junction of Marina and Provenca streets in the central city
area. Address: 401 Calle Mallorca Website: www.sagradafamilia.org Email: info@sagradafamilia.org Telephone: +34 932 073 031 Transportation: Metro to Sagrada Familia stop Opening Time: Daily from 9am to 6pm (October to March), 9am to 8pm
