LOOK: LEGO unveils its biggest set ever—a 12,060-piece Sagrada Familia model
LEGO has unveiled its biggest set to date: a 12,060-piece Sagrada Familia set in commemoration of the centenary of the passing of the church's architect, Antoni Gaudí.
The toymaker introduced its detailed model inspired by the one-of-a-kind architectural marvel, giving fans a chance to recreate the grandeur of Sagrada Família in brick form. According to the company, the set was designed to capture both the scale and vision of Gaudí, offering builders an immersive look at one of the world's most celebrated architectural achievements.
Per its release, the model reflects the basilica’s real-life construction journey. Builders begin with the Apse and Crypt before moving on to the Nativity and Passion façades, then the naves, Western Sacristy, and six iconic towers. The build concludes with the Eastern Sacristy and the Glory façade, mirroring the evolution of Barcelona’s most recognizable landmark.
This is the company's largest set yet by piece count.
The construction of Sagrada Família began in 1882, with Gaudí taking over the following year. It's famous for its towering spires, detailed facades, and blend of Gothic and Art Nouveau influences. The basilica has become one of Barcelona’s most recognizable landmarks and among the most visited attractions in Spain.
The church's Gaudí-designed portion, the Nativity Façade and Crypt, were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2005. The basilica's main structure is expected to be finished in 2026, more than 140 years after construction began and 100 years after Gaudí's death.
You can now get first dibs on the LEGO 21065 Sagrada Família via pre-order ahead of its official launch on Nov. 1. It's priced at $799.99 or around P49,000.
