There's a good chance if you've ever taken a Spanish class that you've seen a photo of the ornate and beautiful Sagrada Familia. For adventurers around the world, this landmark is a bucket list destination, but there are a few things you should know before ...

Barcelona's Sagrada Familia has become the world's tallest church after part of its central tower was lifted into place. The world-famous place of worship now stands at 534ft (162 metres) above the Spanish city after a crane placed part of the tower on the top of the nave on Thursday morning.

The Basílica de la Sagrada Família has entered a historic new phase in its long journey toward completion. Today, the first part of the cross atop the Tower of Jesus Christ has been placed, signaling the start of the final phase of construction of the temple's central and tallest tower.
