CWN Editor's Note: The Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, the architectural masterpiece by Antonio Gaudi, became the world’s tallest church on October 31, when a crane lifted part of its central tower into place.
The Sagrada Familia now rises to a height of 534 feet above ground level. It will be still taller—564 feet—when the central tower is completed next year.
