Barcelona witnessed a historic celebration as Pope Leo XIV inaugurated and blessed the new Tower of Jesus Christ at the Sagrada Familia on Wednesday, officially making it the world's tallest church.
The event marked the 100th anniversary of the death of Antoni Gaudí, the renowned Catalan architect who designed the iconic basilica and is widely regarded as one of the greatest figures in architectural history.
Attended by Spain's royal family, government leaders and tens of thousands of worshippers, the ceremony concluded with the illumination of the basilica, a spectacular fireworks display, live music from the famed Escolanía de Montserrat choir, and a breathtaking drone tribute to Gaudí's enduring legacy.
