Image result for expiatorio leon gto

this building called “Expiatorio”  was pretty important whenever I used to visit my dad in Mexico, I like it since it looks like a big white mountain with a Gothic style based in Notre Dame. in the middle of a very different type of architecture. the church is in the Mexican city Leon Guanajuato ans it has been not yet finished, there is a local legend that says that the city will be destroyed when the church is finished. As I already mentioned the reason I like this building is that the magnitude and beauty of it in the middle of a low-class neighborhood makes it even more interesting and it gives an idea of the importance of religion in Mexico. also it is one of the only big buildings that was built with pink marble giving it a big distinction.
