Antoni Gaudi’s "Templo Expiatorio de la Sagrada Familia" in the heart of Barcelona is probably most famous for being unfinished. The construction was started in 1882 and is still under way. It is expected to be fully finished in 2030. The unfinished Sagrada Familia is Barcelona's most famous attraction.

The "Passion Facade'" building started in 1954.  The sculptures depicting the crucified Jesus Christ were added in 1987. When they were unveiled, the more basic and abstract style of the figures sparked a storm of debate, because the style was so very different from Gaudí's. Gaudi is most famous for his avoidance of straight lines preferring the curved lines of nature, while the sculptures on the "Passion facade" are more linear and far from Gaudi’s style.
