So
here it is in all its infamy! The most hideous abomination of
dishonest architectural expression. Just what were they
thinking about tapping out their silly, plateresque
superficialities! Made all the more incongruous when you look
at the superb three-dimensionality of so many buildings in Castilla,
Salamanca and...here as well! And
then there are those absurd inverted, gravity defying arches in the
cloister, demonstrating that, just as in Dubai, taste does not
necessarily follow wealth.
Still, it draws in the crowds, which is
perhaps more of an indictment of tourist gullibility than any
indicator of quality. |
