Gaudi dedicated the latter half of his life to the design and creation of this church dedicated to the Holy Family, even living and sleeping on site. After his tragic death in 1926 the public donations continued to fund the epic construction creating controversy over whether to follow his organic vision to completion. The building still continues today funded by the thousands of visitors that come every year. Original plans lost during the Civil War have resulted in additional architects adding their own interpretations to the overall design presenting an eclectic architectural array. Open daily 9am-6pm (Oct-Mar), 9am-8pm (Apr-Sep), admission €8. lift €2
