100 years since the death of Antoni Gaudí and Lego presents the Sagrada Familia set: the largest ever

100 anni dalla morte di Antoni Gaudí e la Lego presenta il set della Sagrada Familia: il più grande di sempre

Lego has announced the release of its largest-ever set: a replica of Antoni Gaudí's Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. Comprising 12,060 pieces and priced at €750, the set will be available from November 1, 2026, as part of the Lego Architecture series. The design, led by Lego Architecture designer Rok Žgalin Kobe, aims to honor Gaudí's vision on the centenary of his death in 1926, featuring a detailed reproduction of the basilica's exterior and interior, including stained-glass windows.

This release matters because it marks both a commercial milestone for Lego—its biggest set to date—and a cultural tribute to one of the world's most iconic architectural works, which remains under construction. By linking the set to Gaudí's legacy and the ongoing building of the Sagrada Familia, Lego bridges popular consumer culture with architectural history, potentially introducing a broader audience to Gaudí's work and the significance of the basilica.
