LEGO Unveils 12,060-Piece Sagrada Família Set, Its Largest Ever

LEGO has unveiled its most extensive building set to date: a 12,060-piece replica of the Sagrada Família basilica designed by Antoni Gaudí in Barcelona. This set showcases the basilica's elaborate features, including a stained-glass window effect that replicates natural light. Designer Rok Žgalin Kobe highlighted the importance of respecting Gaudí's original vision. The assembly follows the actual construction order, beginning with the Apse and Crypt, followed by the Nativity and Passion facades, grand naves, the Western Sacristy, and six towers, including the Tower of Jesus Christ, concluding with the Eastern Sacristy and Glory facade. The finished model stands over 24 inches tall, 18.5 inches wide, and 15 inches deep. Pre-orders are currently available, with a worldwide release set for November 1. This launch aligns with the basilica achieving its full height, the Pope's upcoming inauguration, and the centennial of Gaudí's passing.
