In the 1950's, work resumed again, and will continue well into the future. Unfortunately, all of Gaudi's plans were lost in yet another church burning, so the architects that have been working on it over the last sixty years are more or less making things up. They are supposed to be following his style and guessing at what he wanted, but it doesn't seem that way. They've finished one of the facades, but it seems fairly brutal and crude, quite unlike his other work. The interior is hard to judge, as it's a huge building site. But there are certainly enough strange shapes and features spread throughout to ensure that, if the church is ever finished, it will remain at the top of everybody's sightseeing agenda.
