What does Sagrada Familia mean?

✨Gaudi never got to see it finished during his lifetime, but you might. 🏯Sagrada Familia, Barcelona's second-highest tower was formally inaugurated on Wednesday, with the illumination of the massive 5.5-ton star that shines at the top. Construction on this holy masterpiece has been ongoing since 1882, which was supposed to be completed by 2026, but the COVID-19 epidemic prompted the consortium to revise their plans. ⛪️Catalan architect Antoni Gaudi, who designed Sagrada Familia, meant to create a "Bible made of stone," with many cryptical symbols mirrored in its buildings, sculptures, and ornamentation. 🌈 💗Rome was not constructed in a day, and neither was Sagrada Familia. The Star was eventually lighted after 139 years. 1. 📷:@roldixbcn 2. 📷:@pablosbcn 3. 📷:ALEX REISS 4. 📷:Nick Fewings 5. 📷:Nick Fewings 6. 📷:Louisa Schaad 7. 📷:Andrea G 8. 📷:Carole Hachet 9. 📷:@roldixbcn
