Pope Francis has officially declared Antoni Gaudí, the visionary 19th-century Spanish architect renowned for designing the iconic Sagrada Familia Basilica in Barcelona, as Venerable, recognizing his heroic virtue and bringing him a step closer to sainthood.

The announcement was made following a meeting between the Holy Father and Cardinal Marcello Semeraro, Prefect of the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints. Gaudí, who lived from 1852 to 1926, is celebrated for his innovative approach to architecture and his deeply spiritual vision of art as a means of glorifying God.

According to the Sagrada Familia Basilica, the title of Venerable is conferred upon individuals whose lives have demonstrated “consistent, joyful practice of the theological and moral virtues.” Gaudí’s work has long been viewed as an expression of divine inspiration, with Rev. Manel Trens i Ribas, the Basilica’s first director, famously referring to him as “God’s architect.”

Driven by grace, Gaudí once envisioned his magnum opus, the Sagrada Familia, as “a Bible in stone”—a visual catechism open to all, inviting people into deeper contemplation of the divine. He devoted over 40 years of his life to the project, revolutionizing modern architecture by drawing on forms found in nature and integrating artistic beauty with spiritual meaning.

Born in Reus, Catalonia, Gaudí suffered fragile health in his youth, spending much of his time in quiet reflection on nature and the Creator. He went on to study architecture in Barcelona, eventually designing a number of celebrated works, including Park Güell, Casa Batlló, and the Bellesguard Tower. However, it was the Sagrada Familia that consumed him until his death, as he came to see the project not merely as a building, but as his mission to lead souls to God.

His life came to a tragic end in June 1926 after being struck by a tram. His funeral drew an estimated 30,000 mourners, a testament to his profound impact on both art and faith. The basilica he began, still under construction, is expected to be completed in 2026—100 years after his death—becoming the tallest Catholic church in the world.

In the same session, Pope Francis also recognised a miracle attributed to Eliswa of the Blessed Virgin, the martyrdom of Fr. Nazareno Lanciotti, and the heroic virtues of Fr. Peter Joseph Triest, Fr. Angelo Bughetti, and Fr. Agostino Cozzolino. Each of these individuals is now one step closer to being canonised.

Gaudí’s declaration as Venerable marks a significant milestone in the cause for his sainthood, as the Church continues to examine his life, spirituality, and any potential miracles attributed to his intercession.
