Lego unveiled the Architecture Sagrada Família set on June 4, 2026, marking its largest set ever with 12,060 pieces [1, 2, 3]. The model replicates Barcelona's iconic Basílica i Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família, an unfinished Catholic church that began construction in 1882 [1, 2, 3].
The set mirrors the basilica's actual building sequence, starting with the Apse and Crypt, moving through the Nativity and Passion façades, and culminating with the six towers and the Glory façade [1, 2]. Lego's official description outlines the detailed build: "This 12,060 piece set... is a challenging and rewarding adventure," highlighting the architectural phases including the Nativity façade—the only part completed by Gaudí himself—as well as the naves and sacristies [2].
Rok Žgalin Kobe, Lego Architecture designer, said, "We felt an immense responsibility to do justice to the Sagrada Família through this design... Balancing scale and precision, while remaining faithful to a living monument... was a unique design challenge—and one we're incredibly proud of" [1].
The finished set stands approximately 24 inches tall and 18 inches wide [3]. It surpasses Lego's previous largest piece count record held by the World Map set, which had 11,695 pieces [1, 2, 3].
The retail price is set at $799.99 in the US with comparable pricing internationally: £649.99 in the UK, AU$1,299.99 in Australia, €749.99 in the EU, CAD$1,099.99 in Canada, and SGD$1,069.90 in Singapore [1, 2, 3]. Pre-orders began today, with shipments expected to start November 1, 2026 [1, 2, 3].
The actual Sagrada Família remains under construction, projected for completion around 2034 [2]. The Lego set aims to honor Antoni Gaudí’s complex and evolving masterpiece through a blend of scale and detail faithful to its architectural heritage [1].
