Beautiful work. A compelling argument for shooting architectural photos in black and white.

Thanks to many of you for viewing and commenting on my recent posts of black and white photographs. I recently reviewed old files in my Lightroom library and picked images that I thought had potential for B&W. Here are a few more examples:
1. Naples Church This shot from 2014 was of a church on the main square in Naples, Italy. While I felt the color image was pretty good, I was really surprised by the conversion to B&W. Shot with a Canon 5D II with a 24-105 L lens.
2. Naples Galleria: This photo was shot a few minutes before No. 1. This is in a shopping mall (Not sure what the original use of the building was when built.) The geometry of the building speaks for itself.
3. Valencia, Spain: The City of Arts and Science in Valencia is one of the most unusual places I have ever visited. The scale of the buildings is unbelievable and the architecture is absolute world class. I will post more from here in the coming weeks.
While the color processing of these 3 shots seemed to work well, I thought they also landed themselves to B&W. Your comments are greatly appreciated.

You don't need me to tell you, you made a great choice. The pictures speak for themselves.

Your photos are lovely. I am very impressed with the wide angle lack of distortion in the first and third pictures. Very nicely done.
All well suited to monochrome! Excellent selection.
Great work on these. Thanks. Don Z.
Enjoying your images--I also dabble in b&w.
Nice shots, all 3 of them, love the details in #2!
Very nice B&W. Well done.
Gorgeous exposures....very nice indeed. Thank you.
