Incredible Biblioteca Parque España Looks Like an Alien Rock Formation

This spectacular rock outcropping on a hillside in Colombia isn’t a rock outcropping at all; rather, it’s the Biblioteca Parque España, a library, museum and cultural center that offers amazing views of Santo Domingo. It both stands out from and blends in with its natural surroundings in a completely unique way. I think I’m in love. Just take a look at this gallery and tell me you don’t suddenly have an urge to visit Santo Domingo.

Also, since most of the city is on a slope, they use a Cable Metro. A hanging transport trough the slopes of the hill.
