Art of Trash !

In the 21st century , we've already seen many incredible buildings such as The Eiffel Tower , The Louvre and more , some even called them works of art .

But for Don Justo , his cathedral is the most unique in the world because it was entire made up of junk ! Yes , junk as in TRASH !

"Why !?" . When Don Justo was suffering from tuberculosis , he made a promise to build a cathedral if he recovered . Great determination this guy have , right ? 50+ years of determination to be exact ! Most people would be back healthy and not do anything they promised when they were sick , but not for him , Don Justo !

He's built it up to an incredible 131-feet high, and just needs to add a roof and a few windows. Most of his building matter came from salvaged materials and junk, which he built up on his own land over 8,000sq/m with his own two hands . It is really amazing for a guy that has completely no knowledge about architecture !

Don Justo's Cathedral of Trash is a tremendously achievement for human innovation and creativity . Although it is still not finish , it is still one of a kind . It might take another 10 years for him to finish it , so let's hope it will be done as soon as possible as he is already in his 80's . Plus , Justo is also applying a permit for visitors to come and worship in his Cathedral of Trash .
