La Sagrada Familia, Barcelona

La Sagrada Familia is Spain's most visited attraction.  
One of the principal architects is Antoni Gaudi, who is Catalan.  He joined the others working on this basilica in 1883.  In 1914 he stopped working on all other projects to work on it exclusively.  He worked on it until his death in 1926.
The Sagrada Familia is still not complete.  Modern construction techniques, as well as funding, have resulted in a faster pace towards its completion.  
They are hoping to finish it by 2026, to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Gauidi's death.
