西班牙圣家堂终于取得建筑许可

Barcelona's famous Sagrada de Familia is finally set to get a building license, 136 years after work onthe still uncompleted church began.

巴塞罗那著名建筑圣家堂终于要取得建筑许可了，此时距离其开建已经过去了136年，而且该建筑目前仍未完工。

Construction on the UNESCO World Heritage basilica, which is Barcelona's most visited tourist attraction, began way back in 1882 based on a design by architect Francisco.

圣家堂是联合国教科文组织世界遗产地，也是巴塞罗那游客最多的旅游景点。这座教堂于1882年动工，最初是基于建筑师弗朗西斯科的设计理念。

However, when he resigned, architect Antoni Gaudi took over the design in 1883.

不过在他辞职后，备受敬仰的建筑家安东尼奥·高迪于1883年接手该建筑的设计工作。

 

 

The building won't be finished until 2026 -- 100 years after the revered architect was killed by a tram in the city.

后来，高迪被城内的有轨电车撞死，而这栋建筑要等到高迪死后100年，即2026年才能完工。

The unfinished monument is hailed as a masterpiece of Gothic architecture -- by most -- and it is perhaps the most unique and enigmatic building in the style ever constructed.

这幢未完工的地标性建筑被广泛誉为哥特式建筑的典范，它甚至可能是人类有史以来建造的最为独特和神秘的哥特式建筑。

The church's troubles didn't end with Gaudi's untimely death, the construction process was severely hampered by the Spanish civil war and saw the building attacked by anarchists.

这座教堂的麻烦并没有随着高迪的英年早逝而结束，西班牙内战严重阻碍了施工进程，建筑本身还遭到了无政府主义者的洗劫。
