Name of the huge cathedral being built in Rome that will be finished ~2150?

What do you expect? It's designed by Gaudi! Possibly the most eccentric architect ever. Well certainly the most eccentric in the 20th century.

His ideas were always unusual. And sometimes unappreciated. One of the housing projects he designed for a developer failed to sell even a single unit. Eventually the city government bought the land and lo! The existing Gaudi works on it made it a very successful and attractive park. (I have forgotten the name of this park but I am certain of its existence. Perhaps someone native to Spain could supply it and perhaps a link?)
Not native spanish but I visited Parc Guell last year. ;)
It was amazing. I just love every work by Gaudi, especially Sagrada Familia. You can't grasp the true beauty of his works until you've seen it up close with your own eyes.
 
So, what bonuses will Spain get for building this wonder? :p
 
3 culture, tourist attraction and a... hmm... a swiss mercenary every 5th turn.

Did you see La Pedrera? It's amazing how anyone can even think like that.
 
Of course, it's amazing. What I found so great is that it basically lacks color yet is extremely interesting to watch. Many of his other buildings have all kinds of colors in it but this doesn't, the curves and the crazy chimneys and balconnees make up for that though. ;)

No, no. It's +6 :culture:, +2 :gp: (Great Artist). There is also a :mad: penalty against them, meaning all other Civs begin to hate them :crazyeye:

indeed (oops). the roof up there is incredible. As far as the building itself is concerned, I prefered the Casa Battla. That one is, IMHO, simply incredible

personally, I didn't like the Sagrada Familia that much, I preferred his other works. the church seems to be going a tiny little bit over the top of kitsch, but that may be that addition of his successors.....
