Well, on the other hand all that glamour and time was usually gained by using taxes from poor folk - we didn't have a middle class for the longest of times - and pressing money from the New World countries and colonies and just spending them on looking glamorous, a la Louis XIV., etc.
And considering that some of these buildings took decades to be finished I rather doubt the work would be affordable these days.
What I'm basically trying to say - it's not all just honest work going on there, even though the end result is beautiful (if people pay the money to keep it up).
