The Basilica of the Sagrada Família is a monumental church devoted to the Holy Family: Jesus, Mary and Joseph. Construction began in 1882, based on plans drawn up by the architect Francisco de Paula del Villar, and Antoni Gaudí was commissioned to continue the project in 1883.
Every year, millions of people visit the Basilica, in Barcelona center, whilst many also come here to study its architectural and religious content. The Temple has always been an expiatory church, built only from donations. In 2010, Pope Benedict XVI consecrated the site as a minor basilica.
