Santa Sa (Santasa)

Parade of architectural kitsch, utter lack of taste, following an absolute environmental disregard, irresponsibility, and insensitivity. Namely, a hotel building that was designed as a city block apartment building and never considered to be part of the ambient is 5 stories tall squeezed in a small, unspoiled river gorge of unprecedented beauty. A riverbank and entirety of a riverfront is completely destroyed, so where once was a beautiful series of natural travertine barriers (waterfalls) made of tufa today is a series of reinforced concrete cascades. The bank itself is completely manmade structure, mostly consisting of concrete and stone decorations. Truly a TRAVESTY of epic proportions, in once unique natural ambient on one of the most beautiful rivers in Europe. In the summer, the whole scene is even worse - it's a season when the river is at its lowest and yet most of the waters are irresponsibly diverted to a small hydroelectric power plant on the opposite side. This further damage a last remaining natural cascade, since tufa can't survive on dry without water to constantly sustain it. Cheers.
