The New Cathedral

>> Sunday, May 17, 2009

After the 1972 earthquake that destroyed 90% of Managua, the cathedral was condemned, and the Catholic Church decided to replace it with the Ugliest Cathedral Ever.

It was finished in 1993 and is understandably controversial. It's supposedly the most recently built cathedral in the world, but sometimes people play fast and loose with their facts, so there's my disclaimer.
