88歲的西班牙老爺爺花了50多年的時間,在一個叫做Mejorada del Campo的小鎮,以廢棄物打造出一座他自己的教堂!教堂不但擁有高達40公尺的圓頂、筆直的高塔,還有一個素雅的庭院。

這位老爺爺沒有任何建築背景,他的構想單純來自於中古世紀的教堂圖畫。

他年輕時曾出家作修道士,但後來因病而被迫離開修道院。

儘管離開了修道院,但是他仍然立志以生命事奉神。

他出租及賣掉他其中一些土地來籌措資金,並在剩餘的土地上開始搭建教堂。。

他使用空的氣油罐作為教堂石柱的根基,並回收鐵片以及舊紙箱作為輔助建材。

過去幾十年來,他都住在施工中的教堂。每天他都準時在凌晨3:30起床上工。

教堂的大門從早到晚都是開啟的,讓遊客能自由參觀。

Justo沒有收取任何門票費用,但有放置一個捐款箱,而許多遊客都大方捐獻,幫助他圓夢。

雖然目前教堂尚未完工,但從外觀仍能看得出它雄偉壯麗的氣勢。

這座教堂已經成為老爺爺的個人修道院,讓他能夠以神父的身份虔心服侍上帝。
