“La Sagrada Familia” by Antoni Gaudí - 130 years in construction.

When work began on the church, in 1882, the architects, the bricklayers and the labourers worked in a very traditional way. When Gaudí took over the direction he was aware that the works were complex and difficult and tried to take advantage of all the modern techniques available.

Today, 130 years later, the building of the church follows Gaudí’s original idea and many architects have tried to follow his techniques to desig the 12 towers but only 8 are ready and it’s not close to be finished.

That’s why Barcelona is the city I’d live in if I had to get out of Brazil. Such a magic city!
