When work on the Sagrada Fam¡lia first began in 1882, the original
architect could hardly have imagined that, 144 years later, the
ambitious undertaking would still be underway. Yet here we are.
Famously, the Catalan architect Antoni Gaud¡ (1852-1926) spent the last
four decades of his life designing and building the Gothic-inspired
basilica in Barcelona. Then came the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939),
which destroyed many of his architectural plans, leaving successive generations of architects to piece together Gaud¡'s vision and move the project forward. At long last, earlier this year, builders completed
the central Tower of Jesus Christ, which stands 566 feet high, making
the Sagrada Fam¡lia the tallest church in the world.

Although work on the Glory fa‡ade still remains, the basilica has
reached a near-complete state-complete enough for Lego to roll out the official Sagrada Fam¡lia Lego set. At 12,060 pieces, it's the largest
Lego set ever made, and it lets you build the Sagrada Fam¡lia section
by section, following the same order as the original architects. "Your building journey begins with the Apse with Crypt, the Nativity fa‡ade
and the Passion fa‡ade. It then moves on to the naves and the Western Sacristy. Complete the 6 towers and finish the basilica with the
Eastern Sacristy and the Glory fa‡ade." With the video above, you can
watch the building of the Lego basilica, compressing hours of work into
10 minutes. The Lego set will be available on November 1, 2026.
