Hello from the top of Köln
Did you know there's a mini Eifel tower hiding underneath the crossing?
You might think your software project is going slow, but for comparison the masonry work was finished circa 1300 and the iron work completed around five hundred years later.

@th there’s a church in Leiden where they ran out of stonework budget and finished it with a wooden tower, to be replaced at earliest convenience.

it’s been hundreds of years and it’s still wood.

@0xabad1dea @th The cathedral in Malaga, Spain, which I visited a month ago, was built in 1528-1782 period and left without roof. Only now they started building the roof to prevent leaks through the ceiling vaults: https://www.surinenglish.com/malaga/malaga-city/this-how-the-roof-malaga-cathedral-growing-20250211080830-nt.html
New multi-million-euro gable roof on Malaga Cathedral starts to take shape

The first main section of the wooden structure has been installed and it is visible from the port and other parts of the city centre

@blotosmetek @0xabad1dea @th That makes the construction pace of Sagrada Familia in Barcelona look speedy by comparison!
