In the pace of urbanization, the "face" of the city is constantly taking on a new look, however, another unique "face" is still difficult to ignore, that is, the "unfinished building". These once gorgeous buildings have lost their former luster under the baptism of time and have become a symbol of depression and decline. They look out of place in the new dress of the city, and even invisibly, become a "stumbling block" that hinders the development of the city.

In recent years, with the rapid development of the city, the phenomenon of unfinished buildings has gradually increased, which has brought a lot of troubles to the people. Unfinished buildings not only exist in the mainland, but also in all parts of the world. In Barcelona, Spain, there is such a building, the Sagrada Familia, which has not been completed for more than 140 years and is known as the largest unfinished building in the world.

The Sagrada Familia was built in 1882, and the overall design of the building was designed by Mr. Gaudí, a very famous Spanish designer at that time. Originally, it was expected that this Catholic cathedral would shock the world after completion, but I did not expect that this world-shattering building encountered many bumps in the construction process. Since Mr. Gaudí died less than a quarter of the way through the construction of this huge building, the construction of the Sagrada Familia began to slow down. Later, due to financial problems, the progress of the whole project was even more slow. Although the construction of this huge project was barely able to be maintained by opening in advance to collect tickets and donations from people from all walks of life, the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War completely cut off the financial chain of the project, resulting in the forced suspension of the project, and the Sagrada Familia was forced to become the largest unfinished building in the world.

After the war subsided, the huge unfinished project was restarted, and the progress of the project was slow, until now the entire construction is only about half completed. Although the rapid development of industry has led to the emergence of new construction technologies and equipment, coupled with the investment of a large amount of money has accelerated the progress of the project, the overall completion is expected to be delayed until several years later, and the finishing of the overall building will continue for four to six years. So it will take a long time to wait until it is fully built.

The main reason why the construction of this building was so slow was because of the overall scale of the Sagrada Familia. Although only about half of the building has been built, it takes about three hours to visit it today. It's enough to see how amazing the grandeur of this building really is. However, it is worth mentioning that although this building is still a long time from completion, many tourists who are already curious about this building have come to visit it with excitement.
