Home›Residential Buildings›Building Type›HouseBrowse ByHouseBuilding type sorts buildings by the specific kind of structure each one is, such as a church, a tower or a house. The Sagrada Familia is described by Wikipedia as "a Catholic church in the Eixample district of Barcelona," a precise type distinct from a palace or a museum. This dimension lets a visitor find every building of one exact kind.FactsHouseSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonEra of EmergenceWell-attested5000 BCE 1Origin
