This is the bell tower of the Santa Maria della Strada (Our Lady of the Way) parish church in Quezon City, still draped in its Easter robes. I remember how, when it was first unveiled, reactions to its design were varied, to put it mildly.
"To put it mildly"... :) Well, those audacious architectural things always bring up mixed reactions. And some time later they tend to become landmarks. God bless you! Cezar

Well, it is rather unique!
«Louis» can see why it would be controversial - but he (who usually hates modern "architecture") rather likes this.
It looks to me somehow "complete, closed in itself", just like faith has to be. Like it. Please have a wonderful Sunday.

I like it. It's creative with all those intricate designs. Quite stunning, actually.
Its a beautiful structure, and great architecture. Such intricate details.
I like the idea of putting Easter robes on such a thing.
I am not easy with contemporary things, but I really like it!
so unusual- intricate and delicate
A very open tower which is good.
Interesting structure, I wouldn't say it's a church tower!
Beautiful structure.

Curious tower for an church.
I like it :)
Yep, I can see why. Quite unique design.
Hmm..it's different. Not something I would associate with a church, but I think I like it.
This looks very unique. I don't think I've seen a bell tower like it before. I'd like to photogrph it myself.
That is one of the most unusual bell towers I have ever seen, but I must admit that I rather like it.
I like it! I think it will stand the test of time.

i never heard about it. it surely is a nice add to the many religious landmarks.
Yes, and if I have my facts straight, the French didn't like the Eiffel Tower when it was first built in Paris, non?
