Pope Leo XIV is in France for his historic Apostolic Journey — but just months earlier, another papal visit marked a defining moment for one of Europe’s most extraordinary churches. Travel back to Barcelona for Pope Leo XIV’s historic visit to the Sagrada Família and the completion of the Tower of Jesus Christ, the highest point of Antoni Gaudí’s masterpiece. In this EWTN News documentary, discover the faith behind Gaudí’s architecture, enter the crypt where the architect is buried, and hear from those who have dedicated their lives to completing his vision. The documentary also recounts the moving encounter between Pope Leo XIV and 13-year-old Valentina, explores the symbolism of the basilica’s facades and stained glass, and goes behind the scenes with the architects overseeing the final stages of construction. The papal visit culminated in the blessing and illumination of the Tower of Jesus Christ, followed by an extraordinary light, music and drone display over Barcelona — exactly 100 years after Gaudí’s death. As Pope Leo XIV continues his travels in France, revisit another historic chapter of his pontificate and discover why the Sagrada Família is far more than an architectural masterpiece: it is a monumental profession of Christian faith.
