90 degrees turned for Cathedral St Dominic, China

The Cathedral of St Dominic in Fuzhou city is being turned 90 degrees and will be moved south to make way for urban construction. The cathedral has had nearly 400 wheels attached and is being moved on rails. The two-story Catholic cathedral was built in 1933 and is a local attraction


The photo taken on Oct. 13, 2008 shows the working site where the Priest Building is being turned around in Fanchuanpu Catholic Church in Fuzhou, capital of southeast China's Fujian Province. The project of turning the Priest Building around is coming to an end as a right-angle turning was nearly finished in recent days. The building would keep on moving to the south later to give way to street building.
