Barcelona Cathedral ("Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia"). Inside the cathedral there are a bunch of clipped geese. Took pics of them with my girlfriend. It was cute desu.

better go to this one before it becomes a crack house (The Cathedral Church of St. Paul, Detroit)

Forgot the one closest to me right now, Canterbury Cathedral.
Best visit it soon as it's also undergoing "renovations"
Owen Powell

Church of the Nativity

St. Paul's Cathedral

Pantheon, not sure if it counts but go visit it anyway
Zachary Foster
Milan cathedral is GOAT. Basicly anor londo.
Thats quite common before it became a predominantly jewish thing, a lot of cultures have it. These days they ofcourse dont put it on cathedrals since it now has a different meaning in the world.

So if you're one of the 64% of Americans without a passport, get a move on.
If you're European you have no excuse
Nolan Baker
Winchester Cathedral
I was just there on Sunday. It’s a very nice place to visit and the longest Cathedral in Europe.
Isaiah Ramirez
filthy animals. hopefully they dont enter the Church with those clothes
Connor Brown
Just want to drop this older pic of the interior of my city's Cathedral, built in 1136.

Isn't St Peter's longer?

Unfortunately we don't have that many massive churches in America with historical importance (megachurches do not count). Luckily, I live in New England with plenty of old and small churches that still see services to this day, While they are made of wood and puny compared the massive cathedrals of Europe, they are still very important to the history of the area.
Justin Diaz
wierd to know that this is in colombia and not some euro country...
Christian Lopez
Why dont we build cathedrals any more? And I dont mean those American style superchurches which look like a glorified shopping mall, I mean these huge, intricate structures which are meant to glorify God by their very existence? Buildings which are designed to make you feel small, and feel part of something much greater as soon as you enter
I hope one day ill see what a gothic style cathedral with todays building technology would look like
Juan Scott
I know,just look what at these medieval peasants built,imagine what we could build with modern technology
Matthew Wilson
Exactly. It would also pose a unique challenge for todays architects - to design a building not based off cost effectiveness, or practicality, as is almost universally the case
Instead to make a structure to be as incredible as possible, using the finest materials. A small token of thanks from mankind towards our creator.

Gee, I wonder what race of people could have possibly designed and then built that.

Towns use to be oriented around them, not to mention the fact that it was much more important than before, christianity that is. On the topic of orientation, basicly it was suppose to be the building you would always see due to its height, so you make a mental map of the town according to it. Religiously ofc, the height also had a meaning and the whole design of the cathedrals, being shaped like a cross, etc. We still build them, but many more churches than cathedrals, because most major cities now have an older cathedral. For example, these two Croatian cathedrals are both in the same style and I read that the one on the right was going for same design as the left, but it was done in neo gothic style and it was started 150 years ago and finished 130 years ago. One on the left was made or should I say finished in 1217, so its a good example of how the same design is done 900 years later. We use our churches and cathedrals a lot more than other western catholic countries so thats why we build them, but I guess they are not willing to take 200 years to build a masterpiece, but just emulate a cool look from the middle age.
