Overview
- Crews lifted the third and fourth horizontal arms this week after wind halted earlier crane operations.
- Only the top vertical arm remains before the cross reaches 17 meters in height and 13.5 meters in width.
- Each horizontal arm follows Gaudí’s double‑twist geometry, measures roughly 4–4.5 meters, and weighs about 12.8 tonnes.
- The exterior uses white enamelled ceramic and glass to reflect daylight and shine under nighttime illumination from surrounding towers.
- The hollow cross will be accessible and will contain Andrea Mastrovito’s Agnus Dei, with a papal visit invited for the June ceremony but not yet confirmed by the Vatican.
