- Pope Leo XIV visits Spain June 6–12 (first papal trip in 15 years) and will even address the Spanish parliament, pressing for unity amid political polarization.
- He’ll inaugurate the central spire of Gaudí’s Sagrada Família in Barcelona and mark the centenary of the architect’s death — a major moment for art and architecture.
