Gorgeous A'dam! City of canals!
Just a little OT, sorry! I wish someday we will reopen our canals also here in milan...once Amsterdam and Milan were pretty similar from that point of view... Just a question: do you think canals are a problem in a modern metropolis from public transport? I guess that they are completely bearable, but many people here argues that they aren't exactly easy to deal with... thanks! |

Lausanne | Cathedral Notre-Dame de Lausanne
The Cathedral of Notre Dame in Lausanne was built between 1170 and 1240 in the gothic style, with the western portal completed later in the flamboyant style.
The medieval architect Villard de Honnecourt drew the rose window of the south transept in his sketchbook of 1270. Restoration was carried out in 1874 by Viollet Le Duc.

Some Cathedrals in Nicaragua
Cathedral of León (Nicaragua):
In spanish the complete name of this cathedral is: Insigne y Real Basílica Catedral de la Asunción de la Bienaventurada Virgen María de la ciudad de León Santiago de los Caballeros (Real and renowned Basilica Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary). The Cathedral was awarded World Heritage Site status with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). The Cathedral's construction lasted between 1747 and 1814 and was consecrated by Pope Pius IX in 1860. Since then, the cathedral of León has maintained the status of being the largest cathedral in Central America and one of the most known in the Americas due to its Baroque style of architecture.
