Spain, Barcelona-Sagrada Familia Temple, Passion Facade-Statue of Resurrected Christ

The construction of this unique Temple began in 1882, and one year later Antoni Gaudi was appointed Project Director. He worked on the project over 40 years until his death in 1926. The temple has three facades (named: 'Nativity', 'Passion' and 'Glory'), each bearing four souring towers. Seen here: on a bridge between the four bell towers of the Passion Facade (southwestern lateral facade), at a height of 198 feet, is a 26-foot-tall gold metallic representation of the resurrected Christ. The statue is the work of Josep Maria Subirachs. He began his work in 1987 following the ideas but not the style of Gaudi.
