La Sagrada Família is a monumental church in the center of Barcelona in the Eixample district. Over the years, the Sagrada Família has become one of the most famous symbols of the city and the country. Antoni Gaudí's masterpiece is visited by millions of people every year and many of them also study architectural and religious content. The temple of the Sagrada Familia, whose construction began in 1882, was always built with donations. Construction is still ongoing and can be completed with calculations in 2026.

The Sagrada Familia (in Catalonia) or the Sagrada Familia (in Spanish), in the Basilica i Temple Expiatori of the Sagrada Familia is a Basilica of Barcelona, ​​Spain, designed by Antoni Gaudí. The name means Basilica and Feta Temple of the Holy Family.

Since the first stone was laid in 1882, the church was built almost continuously. Only in the Spanish Civil War was the construction stopped for a few years. The current official delivery date is 2026. The project management insists that the building could be completed "somewhere in the first third of the 21st century". The speed with which the construction progresses depends largely on the donations that visitors bring. The construction lasts so long that the finished parts must be renewed. It was not uncommon to build churches of this size. Although the church is not yet finished, on 7 November 2010 it was consecrated by Pope Benedict XVI. Consecrated to the basilica.

Next to this basilica, the architect Gaudí designed several other characteristic buildings in Barcelona, ​​including Casa Batlló and Park Güell. Gaudí was part of Catalan modernism, a movement in art whose basilica is the most important symbol. This Catalan modernism is closely related to Art Nouveau and should not be confused with modernity.

The full name is also called Basílica i Expiatori Temple of the Sagrada Familia. The construction of this church began already in 1882, so some finished parts must be renewed! During the Spanish Civil War, the building remained silent for a while. The planned year for the completion of the church is 2026. Whether this is feasible or not depends on the amount of donations that visitors bring. The Sagrada Familia is also called the "Church of Reconciliation" and can only be paid with donations. In the 1980s the church entrance fee was increased, so that the additional money could also be spent on the building. Partial construction is now much faster because it attracts many people. Although the church is not yet finished, it was already November 7, 2010 by Pope Benedict XVI.

It all started with a bookseller, Josep Maria Bocabella. In 1866 he founded the Spiritual Association of the followers of St. Joseph. He did it because he protected the Catholic faith and St. Joseph. After many donations, he bought a plot of 12,800 square meters. Francisco de Paula del Villar offered to make plans for this church for free. In 1882, the construction of the church, which del Villar had conceived, but soon del Villar and his client discussed, made the transfer to Villar. In 1885 Gaudí received the mission and soon abandoned his ideas about the church.

The most famous cathedral in Europe is the Sagrada Familia and it is also the most famous and last work of Antoni Gaudi. This cathedral is located in the Spanish city of Barcelona.

Barcelona Cathedral is decorated with symbols inspired by nature. In 1883, a year after the construction of a church in this place, Gaudí was commissioned to complete it. It changed everything in the design drawings. He became his life's work and lived for 16 years as a hermit on the construction site. After passing under a tram and dying, they buried him in a tomb under the Sagrada Familia.

At his death, only one tower of the facade was finished. The work continued for a while during the Spanish Civil War, but after this war they began to rebuild and it took a long time for the Sagrada Familia to be completed. Normally, the cathedral should be finished in 2026, but since the work took so long, some parts have to be renewed. That's why many people think that the cathedral will never be completely finished. The cathedral is therefore also called "the structure that will never be completed". The construction work lasts so long that Gaudí has ​​added many small details to the work.

De Franse hoofdstad Parijs is een van Europa's belangrijkste steden en een van 's werelds toonaangevende centra voor kunst, mode, gastronomie en cultuur. Het stadsbeeld wordt gekenmerkt door de architectuur van de 19e eeuw, evenals door brede boulevards en de Seine. Behalve bezienswaardigheden in Parijs als de Eiffeltoren en de 12e-eeuwse gotische kathedraal Notre-Dame, staat Parijs ook bekend om zijn cafécultuur en boetieks in de Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré.


De Eiffeltoren is een 324 meter hoge ijzeren spantoren in Parijs. Het bevindt zich in het 7e arrondissement aan de noordwestkant van de Champ de Mars, in de buurt van de oevers van de Seine. Het gebouw werd gebouwd van 1887 tot 1889 en werd een monumentaal toegangsportaal en een uitkijktoren voor de Wereldtentoonstelling ter nagedachtenis van het 100-jarig jubileum. Zelf bekijk in liever Athene, met de Akropolis van Athene als voorbeeld.


Het Louvre is een kunstmuseum in Parijs. Het bevindt zich in de voormalige residentie van de Franse koningen, het Palais du Louvre. Met zo'n 10 miljoen bezoekers in 2012 is het museum het meest bezochte en qua tentoonstellingsruimte het op twee na grootste museum ter wereld.


Frankrijk in het westen van Europa is een land met middeleeuwse steden, bergdorpjes en mediterrane stranden. De hoofdstad Parijs wordt beschouwd als een top mode- en cultureel centrum. Naast klassieke kunstmusea zoals het Louvre, zijn er ook bezienswaardigheden zoals de Eiffeltoren. Het land staat ook bekend om zijn wijnen en verfijnde keuken. Oude schilderijen in de grot van Lascaux getuigen van de rijke Franse geschiedenis, evenals het Romeinse theater in Lyon of het prachtige paleis van Versailles.


Naples (italien : Napoli ; napolitain : Napule) est une Naples ville portuaire, la troisième plus grande ville d'Italie et la plus grande du Mezzogiorno (sud de l'Italie). Naples est également la capitale de la région de Campanie (Campanie) et de la ville métropolitaine de Naples. La commune comptait 937 848 habitants au 31 juillet 2021. L'agglomération napolitaine compte environ 4,4 millions d'habitants.


Naples a une histoire, un art et une culture riches, une gastronomie de renommée mondiale et son propre dialecte, le napolitain. Ce dialecte est si différent de l'italien que, selon certains linguistes, il pourrait plus justement être qualifié de langue à part entière (similaire à la position du catalan, par exemple, en Espagne).
