La Sagrada Família

Barcelona, Spain

La Sagrada Família is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, designed by famed architect Antoni Gaudí, originally commissioned in 1882, but only planned to be completed by 2026. The basilica is a leading tourist attraction, with more than 3.2 million visitors annually. Outokumpu has supplied stainless steel for La Sagrada Família basilica since 2013 in rebar, bar, machined components and plasma-cut plate products. The building has exceptional lifecycle expectations and a unique design. When completed, 18 towers of La Sagrada Família will reach heights from 94 to 182 meters above ground level. Stainless steel rebar was selected first in the tower structures due to its high strength, exceptional corrosion resistance and reduced lifecycle costs.
