hmm didnt know what catergory to put this one in.


I have just come back from a great trip to Barcelona in Spain.. i visited the unfinished Cathedral Sangria Familia designed by Gaudi which is stunning .. it was started in around 1885 and they hope to finish in 2026 (anniversary of Gaudis Death..)


I was just wondering if there are any more "unfinished" Cathedrals in the world? are people still constructing these monumental buildings?


thanks for your help

Maybe you should ask the editor to transfer this to Places & People to get a better response. Good luck.
I don't know of any unfinished but I know of one that was actually Closed down. That took me by surprise
oops meant to say that was in Scotland. Glad you had a nice holiday.
THE Cathedral in New York St John the Divine is still unfinished its a massive place with some lovely gardens and statues. if you look on google you will see this. A very friendly place and a great welcome.

The cathedral in Barcelona is actually called Sagrada Familia. We visited it last month; it is, indeed, amazing - but potential visitors should be aware that it is virtually a building site and the queues are awful.


St John the Divine (last time we were there, anyway) is a much easier space to visit (but a lot further than Spain, if you live in the UK) - and very lovely. The stained glass windows are beautiful and it has a great atmosphere.

Don't know about unfinished Cathedrals but our local (Norman) castle "Keep" periodically has scaffolding around it!Perhaps they hope to complete that one day (unless Cromwell knocked it about too much)!


Please excuse flippancy
