Barcelona is the second largest city in Spain, after Madrid. It is located on on the northeast of the peninsula, in the Mediterranean coast.
Work to complete this great church still continues today. The first architect to work on this project (Francisco de Paula) originally planned a Neogothic building. However, following his death, Gaudí took over (1883), and while conserving the original layout he soon left his own personal imprint and distinctive style on the building.
