Definitely, it's not like they just grabbed somebody other's spot and started building, infringing somebody's right. Sagrada Familia is literally the symbol of Barcelona now, one of the most recognizable buildings in the world and enormous tourist magnet. But here come some municipal officials and say - well, nice church you've got here, I see it makes money, so just give some of the money to us because we decided you need a paper from us to build, and also because you have money and we want money. Legal robbery.

So when I will want to build something in Spain, I can skip getting permit too? Or the church is more equal than me?

  If you started building in 1882 too, then at some point during that time you'd need to update your agreements with the city.

  If you are Gaudi and building Sagrada Familia and started 130 years and several governments and revolutions ago - you're ok with me.
