When completed, La Sagrada Familia will be 170 metres tall, its intention to be one metre less in height than Barcelona’s highest point, Montjuic hill.

With aims to complete the basilica by the centennial of Gaudi’s death in 2026, it will take longer to finish than the ancient Egyptian pyramids. The Great Pyramid of Egypt took just 20 years to complete.
