Tower of the Virgin Mary

Barcelona, Spain, Spain

Tower of the Virgin Mary (Torre de la Mare de Déu) is the second-tallest tower of Barcelona's iconic Sagrada Família basilica, reaching 138 meters and crowned by a shimmering 12-pointed star symbolizing the Star of Bethlehem, completed and illuminated in December 2021 as a key milestone toward the temple's full realization.

Designed by Antoni Gaudí as part of his organic, nature-inspired vision blending Gothic and Art Nouveau elements, it rises above the apse on the Glory Facade, featuring helical columns evoking prayer ribbons, intricate stone latticework, and symbolic sculptures representing Mary's purity amid the basilica's 18 spiraling towers dedicated to biblical figures.

Accessible via elevators and stairs for panoramic city views, this luminous structure enhances Gaudí's unfinished masterpiece - a UNESCO World Heritage site still under construction with a projected 2026 central Jesus Christ tower completion drawing millions to witness its spiritual and architectural grandeur.
