A majestic tower in Pittsburgh that defines the city. It stands tall and magnificent in its glory.

Cathedral of Learning

In fact, this place has nothing to do with the church, or we can only say that its appearance is like an ancient European cathedral. This is a teaching building, but it is very magnificent and beautiful, and you can go in and take a look inside.
