The Sagrada Familia couldn't fit in a single story.

To mark the centenary of Gaudí's death, we published a three-chapter multimedia special —Nacimiento, Pasión and Gloria— covering the history and secrets of the Sagrada Familia through text, images, infographics, interactives and video, adapted into three languages: Spanish, Catalan and English. It was a joint effort by RTVE's Infographics, LAB, Data, Video, Production, accessibility, SEO and translation teams.

Sagrada Familia: 100 years after Gaudí
The catenary and funicular arches Gaudí chose for the Sagrada Familia: they distribute loads optimally without needing thick walls or buttresses.
Sagrada Familia: 100 years after Gaudí
The sun's path through the Sagrada Familia: at the winter and summer solstices, the stained-glass rose windows project onto the columns thanks to the temple's precise orientation.
The first chapter, Nativity, is built around an interactive piece that explores the Nativity façade in detail and explains how the vaults and columns Gaudí devised form, by design, a real structural forest inside the building.
Sagrada Familia: 100 years after Gaudí
The four bell towers of the Nativity façade —dedicated to Saint Barnabas, Saint Simon, Saint Jude Thaddeus and Saint Matthias— rise up to 112 meters and are clad in glass and polychrome ceramic using the trencadís technique.
