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".

Gaudí's dead

Not much people know how Gaudí died. From what it known he was hit by a tram in front of Sagrada Familia when he crossed the street aiming to go to the construction side of his masterpiece.

He lay in the hospital "Hospital de la Santa Creu", but people didn't recognise the famous artist because of his neglected appereance.

Only three days later, a friend of him found him in this hospital and asked for a private room for him. The same day, 10 July 1926 he died. 

He was buried in the midst of La Sagrada Família.
