"Lift up your eyes" is the motto of Pope Leo XIV's upcoming visit to Spain. It's an invitation to look up at the soaring towers of the Sagrada Família in Barcelona. The Pope's visit comes as the city marks the centenary of Antoni Gaudí's death and celebrates the completion of the basilica's central Tower of Jesus Christ. It’s a major step in a project that has been under construction for more than 140 years. FRANCE 24’s Eve Jackson takes us inside Gaudí's unfinished masterpiece and explores the enduring legacy of the architect who continues to shape Barcelona's skyline.
