The Sagrada Família has 18 towers. From the center, the towers represent Jesus, the Virgin Mary, the four Evangelists, and the 12 Apostles. When part of the tower of Jesus was lifted into place in 2025, it reached the height of about 535 feet (163 meters), making the Sagrada Família the tallest church in the world. It surpassed the then-tallest church, Ulm Minster in Germany, whose spire stands at 530 feet (162 meters). Once the tower of Jesus was completed and topped with a monumental cross in 2026, it reached 566 feet (173 meters).
