Barcelona celebrated the inauguration of the Sagrada Familia's Jesus tower with a spectacle of lights, colors, and fireworks that paid tribute to Antoni Gaudí.

The city of Barcelona witnessed a memorable moment with the inauguration of the Jesus tower at the Sagrada Familia. Following the blessing ceremony, the basilica captured international attention with an impressive display of lights and fireworks.
The event featured a virtual recreation of Antoni Gaudí, whom the pontiff described as "God's architect." Through drones, the creator of the masterpiece was able to "contemplate" his work as it illuminated the Barcelona sky.
The celebration also served as a profound tribute to Gaudí, coinciding with the centenary of his death on June 10th. His professional philosophy, summarized in the phrase "First love, then technique," was projected into the sky, becoming one of the spectacle's highlights.
