Sagrada Familia, Barcelona, Spain, 1852-1926 AD. Designed by Antoni Gaudi.
The Sagrada Familia is a unique example of Christian architecture. The exterior has tall towers in the front and the back. The center part of the building is brown, but to one side there is a white portion that looks more like a regular cathedral. This church is important because it represents how Christian architecture has evolved over time and is always becoming more creative and different.
