Seville with it’s awesome architecture is one of my favourite cities, and I appreciate your reflections … we’ve lost the ability to build beauty!

In reply to Ron Rowland. I agree!Perhaps we should take a leaf out of our ancestors' books and focus more on quality,than the cost <3

In reply to Quaranjavirus. I think priorities are a major factor: today, cost seems to be the priority, whereas beauty and grandeur were the priorities once upon a time.

Very nicely written!This sounds really deep. Modern miracles of construction are still rivaled by archaic ones.. take the Iron Pillar for example,it has not rusted for over 1600 years since its construction! And such marvelous metallurgy behind it.. 🙂

In reply to Ron Rowland. How is the central tower coming on?

In reply to Ingrid. Yes, I'm surprised at the quantity of churches and abbeys that took 300-400 years to build. Based on that, La Sagrada Familia is still in its early stages.

Love the fact that you can plan a project that would go on for generations.. and as Ingrid points out there are still those ongoing in the same tradition.

But don’t forget La Sagrada Familia is still being built! There aren’t many to rival it though. A beautiful portrayal of this architectural masterpiece.

I experienced something much like this decades ago in a small rustic church in the south of England … I never want to forget the emotion that flooded me. Cheers, Ron.
