Barcelona's Sagrada Familia lights up new towers

BARCELONA, Spain: A celebratory light show graced the newest towers of Barcelona's Sagrada Familia basilica on Sunday as the iconic attraction moves closer to completion 141 years after its construction started.

The final two of the four Towers of the Evangelists, 135 meters (443 feet) high and dedicated to Saints Matthew and John, were finished in September with the addition of figures representing a human bust and an eagle, respectively.
