About Sagrada familia towers
A crystalline monolith, a fusion of nature and geometry, punctures the Barcelona sky. Its facade, a mosaic of light and shadow, tells the story of creation through intricate stone carvings. At its zenith, a radiant star, a promise of hope, illuminates the night.
It stands at 138 meters (453 feet), making it the second tallest tower in the basilica, after the central tower dedicated to Jesus Christ, which will reach 172.5 meters (566 feet) upon completion
The tower is designed to incorporate a unique double-twisted column structure, which Gaudí innovatively developed. This design reflects both aesthetic beauty and structural integrity, symbolizing the connection between heaven and earth
The tower features a mosaic that is designed to reflect moonlight, serving as a beacon to guide sailors. This creative element not only enhances the visual appeal of the tower but also imbues it with symbolic meaning related to guidance and protection
Gaudí anticipated that the Sagrada Familia would not be completed in his lifetime. He meticulously created models and detailed plans to ensure that future architects could continue his vision, which included the intricate design of the Virgin Mary's tower
