Sagrada FamÃlia to Pay Off $41 Million Debt to Barcelona for Building Permits
The trustees of Barcelona's historic Sagrada FamÃlia have reached an agreement with the city council to pay off $41 million in debt for not having the appropriate building permits. As the New York Times reports, the saga has continued for more than a century, as an original building permit issued in 1885 by Sant Martà de Provençals was no longer valid when the town was absorbed into the city of Barcelona. Designed by Catalan architect Antoni Gaudà in 1882, the Sagrada FamÃlia is still under construction 136 years later.
