Construction of the Sagrada Família is expected to be completed in 2026. However, the date could be further delayed due to the pause in works during the COVID-19 pandemic. Once completed, the Sagrada Família, at 172 meters, will be the tallest church in the world and the tallest building in Barcelona. In total, the basilica will have 16 towers, including a tower dedicated to the 12 apostles, four towers dedicated to the evangelists, a tower dedicated to Mary and a central tower dedicated to Christ.
