Worked commenced on the Church in 1882, it is only 60 percent complete and is expected to be completed in 2026, a great place to spend half the day although you could spend more time there!

On 7 June 1926, Gaudí was walking towards the Sant Felip Neri church, where he went daily to pray and confess with Mosén Agustí Mas i Folch. While walking along the Gran Via de Les Corts between the streets of Girona and Bailén, he was knocked down by a tram and passed out.Assumed to be a beggar because of his lack of identity documents and neglected appearance, with his worn-out old clothes, it was a while until anybody came to his aid. Finally, a policeman stopped a taxi and took him to the hospital. The next day, the chaplain of the Sagrada Família, Mosén Gil Parés, recognized him. But it was too late and nothing could be done for him. Gaudí died on 10 June 1926, at the age of 73, at the height of his career. He was buried on 12 June.
