I agree, the building is fabulous. It’s not beautiful in a classical sense, but it has some grace. And the interior is fabulous. Under the building, at the underground, there’s an enormous ossuary. And it’s way older than the North Korean hotel.

It is an ugly building from the outside but the stained glasds window from inside are fabulous!

I think that this might be one of the most overated buildings in the entire world. It is ugly in the extreme, as is much of the architecture of Centro (Downtown) Rio. It unfortunately ruins what should be — and still for the most part is — a beautiful view from Santa Tereza. This hideous architecture is particularly discordanant in what is still the most beautiful major City in the World.

Masterpiece? Can’t agree seeing how similar it looks to that North Korean cone hotel.

It reminds me of the Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King in Liverpool: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liverpool_Metropolitan_Cathedral
