In the process of traveling, we can always see a lot of churches, I don't know if you have ever wondered, what is the tallest church in the world? At present, it is recognized that the world's tallest church is the Ulm Cathedral in Germany, in fact, before that, the world's tallest church was also located in Cologne Cathedral, Germany, but Ulm Cathedral later deliberately raised the minaret in order to surpass Cologne Cathedral, so it became the world's highest at a height of 161.5 meters. Today, however, the protagonists are not these two churches, but the sagrada familia, the world's tallest church in the future.
I believe that everyone has more or less heard the name of this church, as a church under construction, the design height of this church has reached 172.5 meters, if it can be built, it will be the world's tallest church, but everything must be based on the "built" thing. Because the church has taken a full 139 years to build from the beginning of construction in 1882 in the 19th century to the present. Many people know that the building was designed and built by Gaudí, but in fact another designer was in charge when construction began in 1882.
It was not until 1883 that Gaudí took over and adopted his architectural and engineering style to build this monumental church. Gaudí's design was also quite bold, combining Gothic and curved Art Nouveau, dedicating the rest of his life to this project, and eventually until his death in 1926, he was still obsessed with the project, and at the time of his death, the construction of the entire church was only about 1/4 of the way through, which was really humiliating, because the construction of this church took too long.
The reason is that, in addition to the complexity of the design itself, but also because the source of funds for the construction of this church is entirely dependent on private donations, if no one donates, there is no fund for construction, the construction funds of this cathedral have been cut off several times in the past hundred years, coupled with the later war, destroying a lot of Gaudí's own plans and drawings and plaster models, so that posterity just want to piece together the fragments of the main model took 15 years, from the war in 1936 to the Sagrada Familia to 1950. The construction of this church began to resume gradually.
Some people may think that the construction of this church through modern construction technology will definitely speed up the construction of this church. Make it completed in a few years. Then you still underestimate the difficulty of building this church, because the construction of the church did not reach the midpoint until 2010. Many people have also questioned the necessity of building this church, although the church is now listed as a World Heritage Site, one of the few world heritage sites in the world that has been selected for construction.
There are actually quite a few people who are looking forward to building this church, because this church looks so shocking. So regarding the time when this church was built, there are also authoritative institutions that give such an answer as early as 2026, so why does Yu Rong say in the title that this church will take nearly 10 years to be built? That's because the completion time in 2026 was proposed a few years ago, think about the global peace in these two years? At present, the construction of the Sagrada Familia has come to a standstill, and bdcnetwork has confirmed that the completion time may be delayed.
Therefore, Yu Rong said that it will take nearly 10 years to build here, which is not a matter of lip service, or if it can really be completed within 10 years, it is a very lucky thing. I wonder if you are looking forward to what this church will look like when it is built?
