“La Sagrada Familia”, the BARCELONA’s building declared Patrimony of the Humanity by UNESCO is under hazard because the spanish government want to build a tunnel for a high speed trains only 1,4m under the basement of Antoni Gaudi’s greatest work.

The general concerns are the following:

• Vulnerability and weight of the building.
• The work construction (28 months) will put a strain to the Sagrada Familia and its surroundings.
• The unstable nature of the foundation of the construction and the underground currents that cross it.
• Bearing in mind that the monument every day receives an average of 7.000 daily visits.

Mil? House (Antoni Gaud? as well) is also affected by the tracing of the tunnel.

I know the new train station (high speed trains) is going to be very useful and will help a lot to Barcelona Sans station (nowadays congested) but I hope it doesn’t affect to any of this buildings.
