About This Book

The Sagrada Familia is Barcelona?s most-visited monument. Every year, over three million people walk within it. They are the anonymous patrons of the Basilica, whomake the work of some one hundred professionals possible, architects, building contractors, carpenters, stonemasons, model makers, sculptors, blacksmiths, for whom the Basilica is their also a place of work. Sagrada Familia. Behind the scaffolding gives a voice to these workers who carry out their day of work surrounded by tourists, parishioners, architecture students or mere admirers of the most famous work of Antoni Gaudí. It is hoped that the current momentum should be maintained until the end of 2026, date at which the construction will be completed, coinciding with the centenary of the passing of its creator.
