The majestic Holy Rosary Church in Kuala Lumpur

I was caught in a massive traffic jam this morning in Brickfields, on the road leading to Chinatown.

I was infact stuck at the same spot for a good 20 minutes, before the traffic moved very slowly.

While stuck in that spot, I noticed the beautiful Holy Rosary Church across the road and managed to snap this picture (picture below) from my car's side window.

When our family shifted to Kuala Lumpur 48 years ago, we first stayed in Scotts Road for 2 months, just a stone's throw away from this Church. I remember I used to be in awe of this building with its Gothic architecture even when I was very young. After all these years, the Church still remains the same in all its majesty! It seems this Church was first built in 1904 and was rennovated in 1951 into its present form.
