Pope Leo XIV is expected to visit Barcelona next week and inaugurate the iconic Sagrada Familia's Jesus Tower which has just been completed.
Drone visuals show the Jesus Tower looming large over the city, topped off by a dramatic star cross.
Besides its captivating aesthetic that fuses the organic with Christian symbolism, the allure of Barcelona’s Sagrada Familia basilica is the chance to see the world’s largest church still being built in the 21st century.
The Vatican aims to tap into and supercharge this enthusiasm for the last great building project of the Catholic Church that draws in millions of foreign tourists each year, when Pope Leo holds a Mass to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the death of its creator, architect Antoni Gaudí.
