Lighting the Crown of the Sagrada Família
With the inauguration and first illumination of the Jesus Tower on June 10, 2026, the completion of the Sagrada Família draws within reach. More than a century after its conception, Antoni Gaudí’s visionary masterpiece receives another decisive component, along with a renewed nocturnal presence in Barcelona’s skyline.
The concept is based on a lighting master plan developed by LKL, which understands the basilica as a unified spatial and symbolic composition. In accordance with the hierarchical order of its 18 towers, the lighting guides the eye progressively upward—from the Apostles’ Towers to the Towers of the Evangelists, then to the Star of the Virgin Mary, and finally to the central Jesus Tower. Rising to a height of 172.5 meters, the tower completes the basilica’s distinctive silhouette and forms the tallest sacral building in the world.
