The old cathedral is unusable because of the 2011 earthquake. Creative people have built a temporary structure to serve as the cathedral. Look closely and you will see it is made of containers at the base. The beams and cross and some decor is made of cardboard rolls, like is used in storing carpets.

One heavily damaged old building is left standing, although it is badly damaged. Many buildings have been removed. Several still need to come down. But people are making the area cheerful with flowers.
