Default ... and the most beautiful building in Rotterdam is

[my former hometown which I left 10 years ago]

Ofcourse it's !!!!!!





Explanation:
In todays' Dutch news: "People of Rotterdam chose this building over authentic Rotterdam buildings".

Newspaper/site readers all wonder: Were any non-muslims asked ?

Anyway, this is the road we're on, people.

THAT? Besides the fact that it’s a Mosque, that is the best-looking building in Rotterdam? Wow I guess the Dutch have no taste in architecture.

That football field looks nice... green grass, flat, some white lines. It's perfect.

Appropriate location, not too close to other buildings, limited collateral damage expected
