crazy cathedral
[Drew this cartoon outside Sagrada Familia when I was in Barcelona the other week. Later it occurred to me that Sagrada F. is not technically a cathedral, but a church. Life is suffering etc.]

As I recall, it's officially an "expiatory temple"... only one I've encountered. Still, being in construction for over a century should qualify it as a medieval cathedral.
It is one unbelievable edifice, any way you look at it.

Barcelona has always been one of my favorite international cities.
