It’s called the New Cathedral, but it’s not that new. Building started in 1513 and finished in 1733 for this beauty. The most famous bit of the cathedral does have modern origins, however. Look closely at the façade and you’ll see an astronaut carved into the stone, as well as a faun eating an ice cream! Maybe it does live up to its name after all.
