Ugliest embassy
What is the ugliest embassy you have seen?
My vote is for the USA Embassy in Bratislava. Right in the middle of town, but with a chain link fence around the portion of the block where the embassy resides. Makes it look a cross between a zoo and an industrial district.
I understand the need for security, but they really should move the embassy where it would not be so much of an eyesore. It looks out of place.
I'd attach a picture, but I would have gotten in trouble

The Czech Embassy in Berlin has always struck me as being pretty ugly in a brutalist 1970's sort of way.
The US embassy probably beats the one in Slovakia as far as ugly fortifications go
