TIME Magazine - Cover with 'Sagrada Familia'

Inside Barcelona's unfinished masterpiece, my latest story for TIME as the cover of the international issue. I love construction sites, but being inside this one was a stunning experience.
The race to complete one of the world's longest-running construction projects. The first stone of the Sagrada Familia was laid more than 130 years ago. Thanks to an influx of funding, some striking innovations and old-fashioned craftsmanship, the church is now on schedule to be finished in 2026. But the project has triggered impassioned debates along the way.
