arcelona’s famous basilica, the Sagrada Família, still under construction after 140 years, took another step closer to completion after the construction of the first two Evangelist towers on Tuesday.
The board of construction directors expected to finish the towers dedicated to Luke and Mark, two of the four Evangelists, in December 2022, but fast works allowed them to be finished earlier.
Luke’s tower was finished on November 14, topped with the figure of a calf. Since then, all efforts have been directed toward completing Mark’s tower and setting the sculpture of the lion on top of the building.
Sagrada Família is still awaiting three more central towers to be completed. The towers of John and Matthew are expected to be finished in 2023, while the central one dedicated to Jesus, which will be the largest when the basilica is finally finished, is expected to be completed in 2026.
Works have been completed using scaffolding which will now be removed to allow passersby to marvel at the two newly finished towers.
