"Santa Maria de Toledo Cathedral" Spain

The Cathedral of Saint Mary one of the three 13th century High Gothic cathedrals is Spain.

Construction began in 1226 under the rule of Ferdinand III and the last Gothic contributions were made in the 15th century when, in 1493, the vaults of the central nave were finished during the time of the Catholic Monarchs.

The structure of the building is greatly influenced by the French Gothic style of the 13th century but adapted to Spanish taste.

As someone who lives outside the UK, I find it so hilariously wild when "the monarchy brings in tourism" is used as a reason to keep this random family in power.

Tourists are not going to see or meet members of the royal family, it's not a Disney meet and greet situation.

Tourists visiting places of importance like Windsor and Buckingham Palace does not require an active monarchy to fuck over the working class.

If anything, I would be MORE compelled to visit England if the monarchy were abolished and the public were allowed to view the miriad of art the royal family have hidden away.

Visiting Versailles and being able to enter much better for tourism than if you could only look at it from outside because some nepo baby lives there.

So for anyone quaking in their boots about tourism post-abolition, worry not, tourists will come because seeing the monarchy was never the point in the 1st place.
