It looks like one of those ancient Roman structures with the way the architecture was laid it must have cost a fortune to erect that edifice. I think it must have taken time to build as and complete and it's a beautiful place. Most of the Catholic churches I've seen have a thing for building something iconic with worship places
I'm really glad this one's very near my home. I have no plans of traveling abroad for work or for leisure but at least I got to experience an exhilarating structure such as this one.
