Building a Cathedral of Memory, Faith, and Persistence, by himself

Justo Gallego Martínez is building his very own Cathedral in Mejorada del Campo near Madrid, Spain. This is no "model" cathedral and he is neither a qualified architect, nor engineer, nor bricklayer -- he is a farmer. "The plans have only ever existed in my head" and have evolved over time in response to opportunity and inspiration. Nor does he have formal planning permission from the authorities of Mejorada del Campo -- the town in which it is located (20 km from Madrid under the flight-path to the Barajas airport).
