Default perspective: making the moon look big?

i've been thinking about a scene that i would like to create in a photo, but want to work out a location to take the photo from.

what i am hoping to achieve is an appearance of the moon looking as big as possible with a building such as a church tower, or monument in the foreground.

am i correct in thinking that i need to be quite a distance from the foreground object and using a long focal length lens to give to right perspective?
