It was probably the "Atomium" in Brussels (which has been mentioned before).

Is that that one that's on an island that's only an island at high tide?

Awake! Awak! St Micheal,
Your time is now at hand.
Thou thinkest not of the pilgrims
Which thron every foreign strand.
Why would I think of the pilgrams,
For healthy they are and free,
Dry foot they come awalking
Across the dry bed of the sea.
[Oh GOD I hate that song...]

It's a cathedral, but I wouldn't call it baroque -- I consider it as
solidly rooted in an art nouveau style (in particular a substyle
particular to Gaudi). It's really an amazing building though, and I
hope to be able to see the completed version someday.

well, art nouveau is pretty baroque itself, with all the arabesques and
recursive decorative figures... :)

I had, of course, chosen to take a different meaning of Baroque, but
you're totally correct. You could probably even say that this is a
particularly baroque form of art nouveau -- everybody's happy! :-)

Over millions of years, pure candy forms into stalactites much like this.
