Introduction to the Cathedral of the Sagrada Família: La Sagrada Família is the lifetime masterpiece of Spanish architect Antonio Gaudí. It was built in 1884 and is still under construction over a century ago. It is a major symbol of Barcelona and even the whole of Spain. It is also the only building in the world that was listed as a World Heritage Site before it was completed. The main body of the church is mainly in Gothic style, with slender lines as the main feature, and the dome and internal structure show neo-Gothic style. There has been much debate about the building, with some deriding it as nothing more than a "heap of stones" and others praising it as "a building capable of ecstasy and heartbreak". Regardless, today the unfinished church has become a place of pilgrimage for architecture enthusiasts and Gaudí fans.
