Sagrada Familia Papercraft

Sagrada Familia Papercraft
Sagrada Familia (aka Templo Expiatorio de la Sagrada Familia, aka Expiatory Temple of the Holy Family) is a towering mega-church for the Roman Catholic community found in Barcelona, Spain. Although it might look like its complete, construction which started in 1882 is still ongoing to this day. Once completed, there will be a total of 18 towers : 4 bell towers representing the 12 Apostles (four bell towers on each of the three façades-Nativity, Passion, and Glory); the Tower of Jesus Christ (the tallest tower); the Tower of the Virgin Mary (the second tallest); and four other towers, dedicated to the four Evangelists, standing at the four corners of the Tower of Jesus Christ.

This very impressive Sagrada Familia papercraft was designed by T. Ichiyama and comes in at a whopping 53 pages, 29 for the pattern and 24 for the instrctions.

  1. I took art history in college and this Cathedral is amazing. It looks like it rose out of the sea and is encrusted with sea life, simply amazing. I am so tempted to tackle this and give it to my former Art History teacher since she has a munch of similar models in her classroom. This one looks very intimidating to say the least!
