Looks like someone built a water tower upside down, then called it a cathedral to hide the mistake.

The Milwaukee building was designed by Santiago Calatrava, who is one of the world's most famous modern architects. Pic related, the nearly finished World Trade Center transportation hub, also designed by Calatrava.

Bahaha... Confirmed! Hitler fled to South America and started the LGBT movement
>>72165311
>Calatrava
Yeah, he's one of the few contemporary architects that brings his A-game to most of his projects. The Milwaukee Art Museum is a world class design and blows my mind that we got something of that caliber built.
>>72158122
On closer inspections OP's cathedral has some nice features. Such a shame about the surrounding building.
I only really enjoy old buildings architecturally. I assumed OP didn't want pictures of my favourite pub.
Here's one of my favourite nearby castles.

one on the right in the pic was almost completed
>>72153998
This church was constructed by the conquistadores when they defeated the aztec empire, it was built over the "templo mayor" using it's parts to symbolize the triumph of God over Lucifer and the pagan gods.
>>72156812
did you know it was designed by a gay atheist?
>>72169565
better pic actually
>>72169565
Aha, yeah I agree, it looks pretty out of place.
I thought that most cities in Italy had regulations preventing structures exceeding a certain height to keep them in line with the historical buildings in the city?
>>72169799
It was supposed to be about 200 meters apparently but they had to reduce it to 167.25 meters, it caused lots of controversy indeed.
THIS IS AN /INT/ THREAD
IT DOES NOT BELONG ON /POL/
GET THE FUCK OUT WITH THIS SHIT
>>72153998
Needs a repainting but it's still looking good.
>>72153998
Cincinnati Museum Center (originally Union Terminal railroad station)
the Hall of Justice from DC comics is based on this
>>72170188
Even at 167m, it seems very out of place given the height of the surrounding buildings. It's a shame, since once they get away with building one (soon to be two), it'll mean that they'll try and put even more up.
Hopefully it doesn't ruin the character of the city.
>>72170532
The garden kinda reminds me of the garden in one of the museums here
>>72160166
Ain't that where the Teletubbies lived?
The Boers made a vow to God that they would build a monument if he granted them victory over the Zulus who were about to attack them.
470 Boers using single shot muskets fought 20,000 zulus at the battle of bloodriver and not a single Boer was killed.
Compare this to the battle of Isandlwana where 1800 British soldiers using state of the art breach loading rifles fought 20,000 Zulus and were defeated, suffering 1,300 casualties.
St. Peter of Alcantara Cathedral
>>72170803
Indeed another big one is almost completed and it's gonna reach 205 meters.
This one we were discussing is owned by a big bank so, you know how it is, I guess they played their cards to get it approved.
>>72172060
The battle of blood river was fought on 16 December 1838.
Also interresting about this monument is that it has a dome and there is a Cenotaph in the centre. Through an opening in this dome a ray of sunlight shines at twelve o'clock on 16 December annually, falling onto the centre of the Cenotaph, striking the words 'Ons vir Jou, Suid-Afrika' (Afrikaans for 'We for Thee, South Africa').

That one really makes me feel better about my city's cathedral that looks like a goofy mess.
The story goes that our archbishop nearly got excommunicated by the pope at the time for trying to build it because of allusions to the URSS, he went over to Rome and talked to him and all went well.
Now more than 50 years later we find all sorts of hidden shit under the city like secret tunnels all connected to it, shit's crazy.

>>72187749
>>72184726
It's the Sagrada Familia you uncultured swine, how can anybody not know what it is?
Anyways there are so many statues and motifs careved all over the surface of the building that from a distance or in pictures, it appears to resemble termite mounds.
Probably the most detailed building I have ever seen in my life, and it's massive. One of the largest churches I've ever been in aside from St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican.
>>72153998

Oh boy! And how about its veranda? Such a peaceful place. The view from the front steps towards the town is nice as well.
Over the years the interior has been severely bastardized. The lobby area used to have an open ceiling that the upper stories could look down.
