Spain’s Mad Monk Has Built a Massive Cathedral Entirely by Hand
People walk past an unfinished church in the central Spanish town of Mejorada del Campo December 3, 2003. Justo Gallego, a former Spanish monk, single-handedly started the construction of the building he calls a cathedral forty years ago. He sold part of his inheritance to buy materials and learned about architecture and art by reading books. (Susana Vera/Reuters)
