to be moved to tears by architecture?

[ChaosTrulyReigns]

A few years ago I walked into a room that was so utterly beautiful I wept.

I can't be the only one to have experienced this can I?

I felt a bit similar watching the high camera angle shots from Westminter Abbey during the wedding, but put that down to being a sentimental old fool.

Anyone?

I'm another one who cried at Sagrada Familia. It really is the most extraordinarily beautiful, awe inspiring building. I want to see it again, and Gaudi's other work.

I also love L'eglise de St Eustache in Paris (near Les Halles) and Venice. I went to Venice and spent 3 days grinning like a loon. It was peeing with rain, but the buildings were glorious.

In my early 20's I spent a few skint weeks in Paris, and spent a lot of time walking around looking at buildings. Pere Lachaise cemetery is also fabulous.

Someone upthread mentioned hugging their house. I used to own a wee cottage (1 up, 1 down), grade II listed. It had a curved side and I used to hug it when no-one was looking.
