Sagrada Familia finally almost done after 133 years of construction

After 133 years of construction, the finish line is in sight for the Sagrada Família in Barcelona.

The massive cathedral, one of Barcelona’s top tourist attractions, has finally entered the final stage of construction. It’s slated for completion in 2026 — 100 years after its architect, Antoni Gaudí, died in a tram accident, Business Insider reports.

While 10 years seems like a long time, 30% of the building still needs to be constructed. Six more towers will be added, including a 564-foot central tower that will make the Sagrada Familia the tallest religious building in Europe.
