    Finally Barcelona City extends permit to finish Gaudi's Sagrada Familia Cathedral

    The new building permit states that the basilica will finally be finished in 2026, with a maximum height of 172m and a budget of €374 million

    Construction of Barcelona's Sagrada Familia basilica may have started 137 years ago, but the emblematic monument got a building permit only last Friday.
