Construction of São Pedro da Trafaria began in 1856. Accidents, including a tower collapse, interrupted the process, and inauguration came only in 1890. The prolonged building work is part of its history.
What to look for
Looking at the completed façade, remember that construction was neither continuous nor straightforward. Its present completeness does not reveal the whole process.

Obstruction
Jian treats difficulty as a real condition. A tower collapse is not merely an episode in a success story: it demands recognition of risk and reconsideration. Completion does not prove that persistence alone was right; changing methods is also part of building.
