Miquel Barceló, Cristina Iglesias and Javier Marín will design the facade of the Gloria of the Sagrada Familia

The council overseeing the construction of the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona has commissioned artists Miquel Barceló, Cristina Iglesias and Javier Marín to develop an artistic proposal for the design of the façade of the Gloria. These proposals will play a key role in the decision-making process, as they will help the council identify the most suitable artist or artists for the final realization of this important part of the basilica, an unfinished masterpiece by the brilliant architect Antoni Gaudí and whose construction, more than 140 years after the foundation stone was laid, has still not been completed. The goal is to ensure that the facade blends harmoniously with the rest of the building, respecting its style and grandeur.

At the same time, work has also begun on the construction of the four belfries of the Gloria façade, destined to become the main entrance to the Sagrada Familia on Carrer de Mallorca. According to the work schedule, the eight columns that will support these massive structures should be completed by 2025, marking a significant milestone in the construction process.

Meanwhile, work on the Sagrada Família is proceeding on schedule. Currently, special attention is being paid to the completion of the Tower of Jesus Christ, with the twelfth level of panels already installed, and the beginning of the pinnacle of the cross.

At the same time, the Chapel of the Assumption, in Carrer de Provença, is also undergoing work that is progressing on schedule. This phase of the project contributes to consolidating the architectural ensemble of the basilica, bringing it ever closer to its long-awaited completion, which will represent a historic event for the city of Barcelona and for the world of art and architecture.
