To celebrate the centenary of the death of Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí, here is a photo of a model of Gaudí’s magnum opus, the Sagrada Família, which I took back in June 2017 just outside the doors of the basilica’s Passion façade.
At that time, only eight spires had been completed; since then 14 are done with the latest being Jesus’s tower back in February.

Glad to see scaffolders being recognised.
Our basilica needed it's copper roof replaced and needed to be fully covered for the job. So a tent was erected above it.
