Beatiful, why they don't make such buildings now?

Well there is one ongoing construction that’s at least as impressive: La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona.

It's wild to me that they started building it in 1882.

I mean it’s already impressive as fuck, so you are excused to think it’s the finished product lmao.

Also I read somewhere once, that it was estimated it would cost around 1billion euros to build that building today

Well I mean even if they did. It would probably finished in 2234 or something and you would only see an ongoing construction site all your life.

We'll go and build a damn cathedral then if you want to. Just don't use my money to do it. What's that you're saying? They could only afford to build these by rinsing all the starving peasants through church taxes?

Starving Peasants? Dude stop spreading this "Dark ages" nonesense its already refuted. And btw those Peasants mostly wanted stuff like that. It was an Honor for someone to work on it like the Cathedral in Spain even founded by peasants.
