Located in Barcelona, Spain, Sagrada Familia is a large Roman Catholic Church.

Designed by Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí, Sagrada Familia is an incomplete church and was declared as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

While the construction of the church began in 1882, it was built with a combination of Gothic and curvilinear Art Nouveau forms.

At the time of Antoni Gaudi's death in 1926, the basilica was between 15 and 25 percent complete and since then its construction has progressed slowly.

While the construction passed its mid-point in 2010, it is estimated that it will be completed by 2026.
Pope Benedict XVI declared it a minor basilica in November, 2010.
