The Sagrada Familia was Antoni Gaudí's master work, still very incomplete when he died in 1926. Coming to the project in 1987, Subirachs used a strongly angular adaptation of the neo-Gothic style of Gaudí's Nativity Portal, evocative of the decade of the 1980s but at the same time just as firmly rooted in medieval iconography and spirituality.
