The project continued until the 1935 Spanish Civil War, under the keen eye of Domènech
Sugranyes. While the structure was not damaged during the war, a number of plans and
models for the building were destroyed by those who saw it as being a symbol of an out-
dated and uptight religion that did not belong in the new Barcelona they were erecting.
The 1950's saw the project once again under construction, following a number of adapta-
tions and reconstructed plans. The current architect has integrated technology to help en-
sure a much more efficient design for completion of the church.
Filled with deep faith-based symbolism, mosaics and statues, the Sagrada Familia is an in-
credible destination that is certain to inspire awe in all who visit it. The cost of admission
permits guests entrance to a museum within the crypt where Gaudi rests. Visitors can also
climb the 400 steps, or take an elevator to the top, where views of the surrounding city can
be enjoyed.
