ACCESSIBLE ATTRACTIONS
Basilica of the Sagrada Familia
The works of Antoni Gaudí have become important symbols of the city. We want you to start your tour knowing the genius and beauty of its buildings.
The emblematic Basilica of the Sagrada Familia has more than 135 years of history since its construction began. Due to the size of the project and because the pace depends on contributions and donations, it remains unfinished. It is estimated that its completion could be in 2026.
When completed, the Sagrada Familia will be the tallest building in Barcelona. However, it will not measure more than the Montjuïc mountain. Gaudí stated that “the work of man must never exceed the work of nature.”
So we recommend that you buy your tickets well in advance and take your time to explore the temple. Its official website states the following:
- The Basilica is accessible to people with reduced mobility, except for the towers.
- Priority access for people with disabilities is located on Calle Marina, next to the Sagrada Familia store. You have to present supporting documentation.
