A spectacular display of fireworks and a light show have illuminated the Sagrada Família in Barcelona following a blessing by Pope Leo XIV. The pontiff inaugurated the newest of the building's geometric spires, marking a significant milestone for the iconic basilica.
The World's Tallest Church
The addition of this spire elevates the Sagrada Família to the status of the world's tallest church. Originally designed by the renowned architect Antoni Gaudí, the basilica has been under construction for over a century.
Crowds Gather for the Blessing
Large crowds turned out in Barcelona to witness the pope's blessing of the final tower. The event drew both locals and tourists, who gathered to celebrate this historic moment.
The Sagrada Família continues to be a symbol of Barcelona's cultural and religious heritage, and this latest addition brings Gaudí's vision closer to completion.
