Stifled Monuments

SantaTeresa's church in Avila is one of the most beautiful churches I have ever seen.The Spanish government really knows how to preserve the country's treasures. The square in which the building is situated allows for a breathing space. The buildings around it are not taller and they seem to keep a respectful distance.That is not the case , unfortunately, for a twin building in Bucharest: Saint Joseph's Cathedral. A huge "mastodont" is being built on its right side, covering the beautiful church almost completely.Why should the present invade and suffocate such a beautiful architectural treasure?There are so many beautiful things in Romania which have a similar fate...
