The tower dedicated to Jesus Christ will be topped with a 29-metre pinnacle with two sections: a 12-metre base and a huge three-dimensional four-armed cross, like the ones on other works by Antoni Gaud\u00ed such as Casa Batll\u00f3, Park G\u00fcell and Torre Bellesguard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the Sagrada Fam\u00edlia, however, the size of the Cross is much different from the others: 17 metres tall (roughly five storeys) and 13.5 metres wide. Plus, its geometry will be based on the double twist<\/strong>, the same method Gaud\u00ed used to make the columns at the Temple<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
