La Almudena Catedral, Madrid



Maybe the photo makes this cathedral look grander than it is but, as far as cathedrals go, it's really quite ugly. The inside is just a festival of tacky with strange colors plastered on the roof that don't go together at all. As for the facade, I read that it has an "unfinished" appearance because it was constantly being rebuilt in different times. Stands to reason I suppose...

Your picture makes the Catedral look better because: (1) the composition is outstanding and (2) you took it at the right time of day where the sun painted the Catedral a beautiful shade of ocre.
