Sagrada Familia's Secret

Sagrada Familia's Secret

The Sagrada Familia is a church in Barcelona that has been under construction for over 130 years and is still not expected to be complete by 2026 at the earliest estimate. For 137 years, it was being constructed illegally and only got its building permit in 2019 when authorities found out it didn't have one in 2016. As part of his quest to create lifelike sculptures on Barcelona's Sagrada Familia, its architect, Gaudí made plaster casts of anesthetized turkeys and chickens, and even of stillborn babies.
