is a picture of the named building. Your link, for me, puts up a beautiful (sandstone?) cathedral.




We have very different minds ;). I see why you like it, it's interesting in a desert clean kind of way. But it's not a loving livable place.

I have a hard time believing most people will express the same kind of feeling of inspiration they have walking on the old cobblestone streets of for instance France or Italy.

Or take a random Amsterdam outskirt, not famous at all, but lovely: https://www.ehr.nl/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/71011393_5.jpg


Well, different climates have different building requirements and materials. Plus, a cathedral isn't meant for living in.

I think you'd find that feeling walking the old market streets, covered by cloths to block most of the sun, bees buzzing around the honey vendor, people bustling by. I can't find the perfect picture, but https://i.ytimg.com/vi/M-g876LtXFs/maxresdefault.jpg isn't bad. That one's a little more tourist-focused and lacking in crowds than the exact street I'm remembering.
