Sagrada Família

Work began in 1882 under Francesc de Paula del Villar, and when he resigned in 1883 the commission passed to Gaudí, who reworked it entirely and stayed with it until his death in 1926. The Nativity façade and the crypt are the parts built to his own drawings and supervision, and it is in that crypt that he is buried. Everything above and behind them has been raised since, from his models and from later interpretation of them.
