La Sagrada Familia is one of Gaudí's most famous works in Barcelona. It's a giant Basilica that has been under construction since 1882 and it's not expected to be completed for many years. Stunning building -A masterpiece
It has 3million visitors a year, whose entrance fees pay for most of the €25 million a year cost of continuing its construction, with gifts from private donors making up the rest.

Problems have long dogged work on Barcelona's second cathedral, with Gaudí neck-deep in the project when he was killed in 1926 when he was run over by a tram.
The architect's body was not identified for several days after the impoverished 74-year-old was mistaken for a tramp. He lived long enough only to see a quarter of his masterwork completed.
