Antoni Gaudi

Antoni Placid Guillem Gaudi was born on 25 June 1852 in the little town of Tarragona in Spain and passed away on 10 June 1926. He was a Spanish architect who belonged to the Modernist style movement and was famous for his unique and individualistic designs. Gaudi was an ardent Catholic and in his later years devoted his life to the Church. He built a church with 18 towers, 12 for the apostles, 4 for the evangelists, 1 for Mother Mary and 1 for Jesus Christ. When his good friends passed away, he slowed down on the construction of the church. 'Til today, the church is still not fully completed and is still under continuous construction. Above is a picture of the Sagradafamilia which I am talking about. It is expected to be completed in the year 2026 if there are no hitches.
