There are some works of art that really move me, mostly it's something that is bringing back a memory, rather than purely absorbing it on its own. The same is true for music or images (paintings, photographs, etc).
Buildings and statues don't tend to do it for me, they might fill me with awe at their size, location, etc, but wouldn't move me to tears. There are exceptions, such as the concentration camps. But in that case, it's not the bricks and mortar but what happened in them.

Good paintings, yes, and I love architecture. I will spend hours tramping around cities looking at the buildings.
Paintings and buildings don't make me cry, and certainly don't make me wail in anguish.
It would seem you interpreted my failure to be moved to tears by paintings and buildings as me not appreciating them.

This is technically brilliant and awe inspiring when you stare at it.

and the Rueben's Gallery was breath taking.
I too was underwhelmed by the Mona Lisa.
plenty of buildings worth investigating.

I quietly screamed at it too, I'd paid a fortune to get in, queued for bloody ages and when I got there it was a tulip incoherent cartoon. Michelangelo professed he couldn't paint and I agree with him, much better with sculptures.
PS Only just realised that, given your interest in ancient history, your name Gibbon is probably nowt to do with apes but based on Edward Gibbon.
