Puzzle sentence and answer

The sentence

LEGO has recreated Barcelona's Sagrada Familia basilica in bricks, its biggest ever.

Show the five-word answer
LEGOrecreatedBarcelona'sSagradaFamilia

Kept 'biggest' and 'ever'? It is true, 12,060 pieces, the biggest set LEGO has made, out in November. But the size is not what happened. What happened is they built it, and 'recreated' is the word carrying that. 'Barcelona's' stays because it puts the thing somewhere real. The actual basilica was only finished in February, 144 years in, a century after Gaudi died.
