Sagrada Familia in the News

Well, in 3d anyway. This video portrays a beautiful 3D representation of a finished Sagrada Familia, which is great for those of us who are unlikely to still be around by the time it is finally finished.

Greenpeace activists scaled the Sagrada Familia on Monday to protest climate change ahead of the five day UN climate change talks.

The activists attempted to unfurl a 600 square meter banner saying "World Leaders make the climate call" from the top of the iconic church in Barcelona, but were prevented from doing so by the wind. Instead, they hung two smaller banners from the giant cranes hovering over the unfinished work of Gaudí, saying "Save the climate".
