Unfinished Landmarks Worth A Visit

It's one of five "Unfinished Landmarks Worth A Visit" according to gadling.com. When I saw the title I knew the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, Spain, would be on the list. It was at the top of Gadling's list:
Barcelona, Spain: La Sagrada Familia Still under construction after more than a century, The Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Familia, which translates to Expiatory Temple of the Holy Family (see image above), is one of the most visited monuments in the country, with nearly 3 million visitors each year. Scheduled for completion sometime between 2026 and 2028 (as a best guess, anyway), the tower and cathedral was visited by Pope Benedict XVI in 2010.
Peggy and I visited in 2007. Evidence that it was unfinished was quite obvious: Sagrada Familia, the Passion Façade Sagrada Familia Detail Sagrada Familia Detail Sagrada Familia Detail Sagrada Familia
