    • It is the only great Temple in the world that is still under construction. Cathedrals have always taken a long time to build, in some cases a very long time: the Cologne Cathedral (Germany) took 632 to finish; the Milan Cathedral, 577 years; and Westminster Abbey, in London, was built in just 500 years.

    • It is the perfect combination of tradition and innovation.
