The Sagrada Família Gaudí's Heaven on Earth

This book explores the evolution of this remarkable building, working through the decades right up to the present day before looking beyond to the final stretch of its construction. It has survived two World Wars, the ravages of the Spanish Civil War and the 'Hunger Years' of Franco's rule. It has defied the critics, the penny-pinching accountants, the conservative town-planners and the slaves to sterile modernism to witness the most momentous changes in society and history. It is a guidebook, a chronological history and a moving and compelling study of man's aspiration towards the divine.
