@augustus Yeah but think about the history, all the generations of people who shared the bond of building it, Iberian work ethic is about deeper things than merely finishing a job

@deadheat the guy who first started it is buried inside it in the crypt (commies ransacked his tomb during the Spanish civil war and destroyed his architectural plans)

@augustus The whole thing is too fucking busy to the point that it's just a chaotic eyesore. Not every square centimeter needs to have some intricate carving or geometric design.
There's a reason why we've all spent the past 3000 years trying to replicate classical Greek architecture. There's elegance in its simplicity that cannot be matched.

@augustus They went crazy with the naturalistic style, and it's very impressive, but I wish the spires looked more like traditional gothic...
