Some people love the visual appearance of this cathedral, but others hate it too! (We love it!) The public aesthetic of the Cathedral of the Ascension of the Virgin has changed since it was built in 1971! Originally seen as a bit of a disgusting church, but in 2017 it was named the top ten most beautiful churches in the United States. We especially enjoyed the stunning stained glass, using concrete and the amazing shape of a saddle roof made of hyperbolic parabola!
