Planned Sagrada Família stairways threaten eviction for thousands of neighbors
<p>Once construction finishes, Sagrada Família will become the highest church in the world, and the tallest building in Barcelona, reaching 172.5 meters. The temple will transform the city’s skyline even more so than it already does, but for the moment, one major hurdle remains at ground level.</p>
<p>A dispute between neighbors and the basilica arises from the project to build stairways. The steps would go from Glory façade, the Sagrada Família’s main face, to Aragó street, around 60 meters in length. To do so, they will need to demolish several buildings which would see around 3,000 people evicted.</p> / ACN
