Gaudi was first signed up to design the Sagrada Familia in 1883 and worked on it for 43 years until he died in 1926. He was killed in an accident in 1926. At that time the building was about 20% finished. The work stopped during the Spanish Civil war (1936-1939). Now there is still much work to be done - particularly to build the central tower. It is hoped that it will be finished by 2016 - the centenary of Gaudi’s death. Here are a few pictures of the inside. I was happy to sit in silence to absorb the experience of being there and listening to a version of Ave Maria that was being sung.
