The LEGO Group has officially unveiled the LEGO Architecture Sagrada Família set, marking a historic milestone for the brand’s premium architectural lineup. Arriving as a detailed tribute to commemorate the centennial anniversary of visionary architect Antoni Gaudí’s passing, this monumental release captures both the grand scale and complex artistic essence of Barcelona’s most iconic living landmark.
Crafted specifically for adult enthusiasts, the massive model shatters records as the largest LEGO building set ever released by piece count, boasting an impressive 12,060 elements. The immersive assembly process directly mirrors the real-world historical construction sequence of the basilica itself. Builders begin by laying the foundational Apse and Crypt before advancing through Gaudí’s original Nativity façade and the dramatic Passion façade. From there, the structure rises into the grand naves, Western Sacristy, and six signature towers, concluding with the integration of the Eastern Sacristy and the intricate Glory façade.
Attention to detail remains paramount throughout the design, highlighted by a striking stained-glass window effect that beautifully replicates how natural light filters through the actual monument. To further enhance the intricate building experience, consumers can utilize digital assistance through the companion application, which offers intuitive 3D instructions, progress tracking, and the ability to save builds.
The LEGO Architecture Sagrada Família set is available for pre-order now and will officially launch globally on November 1 via the official LEGO webstore and flagship retail locations.
