The Sagrada Família has now crowned its maximum height with the Tower of Jesus, which reaches 172.5 meters, just slightly below the height of Montjuïc hill, in accordance with Gaudí’s explicit wish that his great work should not surpass God’s creation. Now, with the eight central towers completed (Jesus, Mary and the four Evangelists), together with the eight lower towers dedicated to the Apostles (with four more still pending on the Glory façade), they already stand out on Barcelona’s skyline — especially the four-armed cross, which from any viewpoint appears as a conventional cross.This magazine reveals all the secrets of this great masterpiece, featuring fifteen pages of infographics and outstanding full-page photographs, some taken by drone to capture the full magnificence of Gaudí’s ambitious architecture. This is a collector’s edition, with texts exploring the architect’s biography, his ideas and projects, the rich religious symbolism of the temple, the new and previously unknown spaces now opening upwards to visitors, Gaudí’s major architectural works beyond the Sagrada Família, and his influence on architects around the world. A top-quality publication devoted to the tallest church in the world.
