Antoni Gaudi's unfinished masterpiece, La Sagrada Familia, is expected to be completed in approximately fifteen years. The basilica had a close call Easter weekend when a group of tourists saw a 'disturbed' man with lighters around a cloud of smoke. The fifty-five-year-old gentlemen was seen lighting robes in the basilica and setting fire to   some furniture. Over 1,500 tourists were evacuated from the building and the surrounding exterior areas. Barcelona Mayjor Jordi Hereu confirmed there was no structural damage done to the basilica but some furniture was ruined. La Sagrada Familia has largely become the symbol of Barcelona as it brings over two million visitors to the city annually. The loss of the church would have been devastating to the city and possibly a group of tourists is to thank. Had they not seen the cloud of smoke and reacted quickly, the elaborate structure may have seen it's last crowd. Gaudi was a devout Catholic and the construction began in 1882. When he died in 1926, the structure was still far from finished. Almost one hundred and thirty years later, the structure is still incomplete yet construction workers are a fixture outside the facade working endlessly to complete the basilica. The immense detail and careful construction pay tribute to Gaudi's most cherished work.
