For discrepancies with the architect Joan Martorell - adviser of Bocabella - Francesc of the Village he resigns and Gaudí, assistant of Martorell, he is nominated an architect of the Temple. Gaudí raises a new set of plant basilical, of five ships with a cruise of three and one dome of 170 m of height, everything with vertical predominance. Finished the apse, 1894, begins the foundation of the front of the Birth, and the construction of the cloister and the large window of the north cruise, which finish rightly when the last Spanish colonies get lost.

The century begins with the celebration of the year To retire Josefino, on the occasion of the fifth centenary of the Sponsorship of San Jose. But very soon the history of the Temple endures your major loss: Gaudí dies knocked down between a streetcar. This one was the first one of a series of failures, which culminated 1936, with the Civil war, the burning of the crypt, Gaudí's workroom and it destroys her of great part of you models on the part of the squads. It will not be until 1940, in full pro-Franco dictatorship, that the architect Francesc Quintana restores the burnt crypt and reconstructs the models, across which, today in day the Temple is constructed.

1929 - coinciding with the visit of the kings of Denmark - there finished the remaining belfries of this front to which they will be added the year 1933 by the lantern of the Faith and the central cypress.
1954 begins the stage of reappearance of the work with the beginning of the construction of the front of the Passion: the foundations and the raising of the walls. Quintana, Puig Boada and Bonet Garí were the architects selected for your continuation. And the devotion of the people, the instigadors.
The day of San Jose of 1958 gave to itself a new impulse to the work with the placement of the group of the Birth of J. Busquets on the genealogical column in the front of the Birth. 1976 there concludes the coronation of the belfries of the front of the Passion.
