SAGRADA FAMLIA SPAIN

Surely the most extraordinary church on the planet, from the mind of one of historys most eccentric designers: Antoni Gaud. With its tapering towers like the straightened arms of an octopus, construction of Sagrada Famlia began in 1882, though Gauds vision was so complex that the church is still unfinished. It will ultimately feature three fa?ades and 18 towers, the tallest of them representing Jesus Christ. Plans are to have the Barcelona icon completed in 2026, the 100th anniversary of Gauds death.
