Légende
The Sagrada Familia Temple, Barcelona, Spain, 2007. Detail of the Passion Facade featuring a statue of the resurrected Christ. Construction of this unique temple began in 1882, and one year later Antoni Gaudi was appointed Project Director. He worked on the project for over 40 years until his death in 1926. The temple has three facades (named 'Nativity', 'Passion' and 'Glory'), each bearing four souring towers. Eight of the twelve bell towers of the facades, dedicated to the Apostles and having a height exceeding 100 metres, are already built. The four belfries awaiting construction are those of the Facade of Glory, the 170-metre central dome in honour of Jesus Christ, the Tower of the Virgin Mary (125m) and the Tower of the four Evangelists. The statue featured here is the work of Josep Maria Subirachs. He began his work in 1987 following the ideas but not the style of Gaudi.
