Magnificent and amazing architecture. Excellent and interesting photos!

Many thanks for your lovely reply! I am very glad to know your opinion and strongly appreciate it :D

What an extremely impressive building! Maybe it's because of the military background, the cathedral looks like a fortress. It also looks like they can film Harry Potter in there and it wouldn't look out of place! Thanks for posting!

Agree with you. This is absolutely unique place with special spirit. I have visited it in the evening that increased the feeling of mystery. Thank you that you refresh my emotions :D
