144 years building a dream 🏛️
In 1882, the first stone of the Sagrada Família was laid. A year later, a young Antoni Gaudí took over the project and devoted the rest of his life to it.
Gaudí was born in Reus on 25 June 1852 and passed away on 10 June 1926, just fifteen days before his 74th birthday. This year marks a century since his death, yet his work is more alive than ever.
This photo says it all: in front of the Nativity façade, the only one he saw almost completed, workers in hard hats keep building while visitors from all over the world look up in awe. Past and present in the same square. A temple that has never stopped growing.
Thank you, Gaudí, for a legacy that is still being built every single day. 🤍
