1440s

Completed year orders buildings by the year construction actually finished, which can be long after work began. The Sagrada Familia's central tower, Wikipedia notes, "reached structural completion on 20 February 2026," well over a century after ground was first broken in 1882. Browsing by completed year separates a building's finish date from its start date.
