Gaudi's HOLY FAMILY pin
La Sagrada Familia Monumental church dedicated to the Holy Family, Gaudi's most famous work, the finest example of his visionary genius, the worldwide symbol of Barcelona and the Cathedral of the third Millennium.
The architect undertook the task in 1883.
He dedicated his life to carrying out this ambitious project which he left unfinished in 1926 when he died.
The Cathedral is a synthesis of his architectural knowledge with the complex system of symbolism and a visual explication of the mysteries of faith.
There would be extraordinary façades representing the birth, death and resurrection of Christ with eighteen towers symbolizing the twelve Apostles, the four Evangelists, the Virgin Mary and the Christ
The work was interrupted in 1936 when the crypt and Gaudi's studio were burnt. The project was resumed in 1952 using existing drawings and models.
The Sagrada has should be able to accommodate more than 13,000 people, and the platforms, on the sides, a chorus of 1,500 people.
The whole of the building is an allegory of the Christian religion. The 170 height meters arrow will incarnate Christ.
The uniqueness and complexity of the project, make practically impossible to give a precise date of time necessary to build the remaining ten domes.
The most important factor is the firm will of a great number of people who wish to contribute to the completion of the temple. And carry out the wishes of Gaudi, "a Cathedral open for every buddy, a place of spirituality with the Christian message, a place of fraternity for all.
