Of the 18, only 8 spires have been completed so far. The spires dedicated to the Evangelists will be surmounted by sculptures of their traditional symbols while the tallest spire, dedicated to Jesus Christ, will be surmounted by a giant cross and will have a height of meters ft.
While the towers are a long way from completion, once completed they will make Sagrada Familia the tallest church building in the world. On your visit to the Sagrada Familia, if you purchase a ticket that includes tower access, you can choose to climb either the Nativity or Passion towers. The Nativity Tower is richly decorated and celebrates the birth of Christ. It was the only tower to be built under the supervision of Antoni Gaudi himself, so opting for the Nativity Tower gives you the opportunity to walk through the original work of the architect.
It features a bridge that connects two towers of the Nativity facade and walking on the bridge is an exhilarating experience in itself. Duration: 45 minutes regular version and 25 minutes express version. Audio-description and sign-language guides are also available in Catalan, Spanish and International Sign.

When you purchase Sagrada Familia tickets , you are given a variety of choices. Most tickets limit your visit to the ground level: if you wish to have access to the towers, you must get a specific ticket with tower access.
They are double-timed tickets that will be scanned at the entrance of the church and again when you access the tower lift. In when he passed away run over by a tramway, the tower to the left, Saint Barnabas, was completed and the other three towers were only missing the tips.
The itinerary goes still a bit further up connecting with Saint Barnabas tower. Gaudi never envisioned these towers to be visited by hundred of people: they were going to be bell towers and only the bell ringer was supposed to come up.
As you get out of it, you go a few steps further up to a platform at the top of the tower from where you can see the views. Next you cross over Thomas Tower through a short bridge.
The highest point you can reach is around 90m ft. That has do do with the importance of the Apostles to which each tower is dedicated. More about that at the end of the post! But the last portion becomes a narrow spiral stair with only a wall to one side and a low balustrade in the other.
If you lean in, you can see all the way down to the ground through the spiraling hole. Here Dan Brown placed a frenetic prosecution in a chapter of his book Origins.
The reality is not as daunting as in the book, though. Well, the answer to this question is very personal. It depends on what you consider a good view… The Nativity Tower view faces the park with a lake at the foot of it, which is pretty cool. As for the Passion Towers, the park at its foot is mostly greenery, but you also get to see the undulating rooftop of the Sagrada Familia Schools.
I personally like this side of the city better. From both towers you get a good view over the construction of the central towers, as well as the fruit pinacles in the sides of the church. What are all the Sagrada Familia 18 Towers? That will make 12 towers — the 12 Apostles, disciples of Jesus. Gaudi never envisioned these towers to be visited, actually. They were meant to be belltowers.
