Surely beautiful and majestic for anyone from the aura that the cathedral emits, even if there is no art perspectives. But I didn't want to wait so long to get inside. Just were satisfied with standing at the front and looking at the beautiful building.

Yes, it's wonderful and artistic, but the scale isn't everything. How about thinking about the meaning of tower, one of major arcana in tarot?

The Tower is sometimes interpreted as meaning danger, crisis, sudden change, destruction, higher learning, and liberation.[6] In the Rider-Waite deck, the top of The Tower is a crown, which symbolizes materialistic thought being bought cheap. The Tower is associated with the planet Mars. According to A.E. Waite's Pictorial Key To The Tarot, the Tower card is associated with: Misery, distress, indigence, adversity, calamity, disgrace, deception, ruin. It is a card in particular of unforeseen catastrophe. Reversed: Negligence, absence, distribution, carelessness, apathy, nullity, vanity.

Where is the sacred place? Is it in the street where so many people walk? Or is it that huge building? What does it mean to me if it's a fortress-like heaven ? Nobody cares because here is paradise. Heaven and this world
