La Familia Sagrada, Barcelona SPAIN



La Familia Sagrada.  In this modernist version of a medieval church, Gaudi pictured the entire Bible articulated in stone.  Unfortunately, after 43 years of working on the massive church, he was hit by a train leaving it one night, and died as a result.  Shortly after, anti-religious anarchists destroyed his workshop, along with all of his building plans.  The Familia Sagrada remains a work-in-progress, with estimated completion in 2017ooks, something amazing, fanciful, and even out of place.
