LEGO Unveils Sagrada Família Set: Largest Ever with 12,060 Pieces

LEGO has introduced its new Sagrada Família set, officially designated as the largest LEGO set ever produced. The set, priced at $799.99, consists of 12,060 pieces, exceeding the piece counts of previous record holders such as the World Map and Eiffel Tower sets.

This monumental build serves as a tribute to the legendary architect Antoni Gaudí and his unfinished basilica in Barcelona, Spain. The real Sagrada Família has been under construction for 144 years, a stark contrast to the LEGO version, which can be assembled in a matter of days.

Product images provided by LEGO highlight the detailed exterior of the set, making it instantly recognizable as the iconic Catholic church. The interior, particularly the stained-glass cathedral, is also depicted, though with less detail, designed to showcase Gaudí's intention for the windows to align with the cycle of the sun.

For large-scale projects, LEGO has previously employed a multi-set release strategy, as seen with the ongoing Hogwarts Castle build, which has received new releases since 2024. The Sagrada Família set is currently available for preorder directly from the LEGO website. Its official release date is set for November 1, 2026.

According to IGN, the set is considered a fitting tribute to Gaudí's architectural legacy, despite the differing scales of construction time.
