About Sagrada Família
Sagrada Família is a Catholic church found in Barcelona's Eixample district, in Catalonia, Spain. A bookseller named José María Bocabella conceived it following a trip to the Vatican in 1872, imagining an expiatory temple paid for entirely by donations. Work on the apse crypt began on March 19, 1882 under Francisco de Paula del Villar, an architect who had planned a conventional Gothic revival church.
In 1883 Antoni Gaudí took over the design and changed it radically, blending Gothic and curvilinear Art Nouveau forms. He worked on it for the rest of his life and is buried in its crypt. When he died in 1926 the building was only 15 to 25 percent finished. The Spanish Civil War interrupted construction in 1936, and part of the unfinished church, along with Gaudí's models and workshop, was lost. Computer-aided design and CNC milling, which shapes stone off-site, have enabled faster progress since then.
Its central Tower of Jesus Christ, at 172.5 m (566 ft), makes Sagrada Família the tallest church in the world. Pope Benedict XVI consecrated the church on November 7, 2010 and proclaimed it a basilica. Although it is sometimes described as a cathedral, it is not the cathedral church of its archdiocese; Barcelona's cathedral is a different building. Parts of the church, the Nativity façade and the crypt, are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
How it prints
Make this print opens the generator on a 600 m square around the landmark. Buildings print at close to true scale, so the landmark grows with the print size.
| Print size | Landmark height | Scale |
|---|---|---|
| 160 mm default | 51 mm | 1:3,750 |
| 200 mm | 64 mm | 1:3,000 |
| 256 mm | 82 mm | 1:2,344 |

- A crowd of slender spires
- The clustered towers narrow to thin finials, and the tallest carries a cross. Print slowly with good cooling, and try Print friendly so the thinnest tips adapt to the print scale.
- Small prints blur the façades
- The pointed arches on the façades and the finials on the towers are small features. A larger print size keeps more of them, and layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm keep the tall vertical lines crisp.
- One piece with the ground
- Sagrada Família is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.
- Pick the detail for your nozzle
- In the Buildings settings, set Landmark detail to Print friendly to adapt thin parts and small details to the print scale. Full detail keeps every modeled feature, for larger prints or a finer nozzle.
- Colors
- Buildings, roads, water and ground arrive as separate filament slots in the 3MF. Sagrada Família takes the building color.
- File format
- You get a 3MF for Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer or PrusaSlicer. Any of them can save it as STL if you need one.
About this model
Sagrada Família is one of more than 2,300 landmark models in Mini Skyline. They are made with AI, and each one is checked from four sides in its real surroundings before release. Everything around it is built from OpenStreetMap and Overture map data. If you would rather print the shape from map data, turn off Landmark models in the Buildings settings.
Common questions
Is there a Sagrada Família STL I can download?
Mini Skyline builds the file for you in your browser and exports 3MF, which every major slicer opens. If you need an STL, open the 3MF in your slicer and export it from there.
How big can I print it?
Any print size from 40 mm across. Sagrada Família grows with the print: about 51 mm tall on the default 160 mm print. For a model larger than your printer bed, Project Mode splits the area into tiles.
Is it free?
Yes. Generation runs in your browser, with no account and nothing behind a paywall.
