14 most beautiful and extraordinary churches in the world

I agree with those who have said Sagrada Familia was unfairly omitted here. Must admit that I’m not too fond of the modern ones. Nothing beats the architecture, atmosphere and acoustics of a towering Romanesque or Gothic cathedral. Many of them took centuries to build.

How could you omit Segrada Familia in Barcelona, should be at the top! And what about Notre Dame and Sacre Coeur in Paris?

Segrada Familia is missing as is the cathedral in Cologne, Germany.

You missed the oddest cathedral of them all: the Salt Cathedral, buttl, rather CARVED inside a mountain of salt in Colombia, about 50 km from Bogota. A group of miners were caught inside the salt mine and made a vow to the virgin Mary that if they lived, they would build a chapel for her carving the salt. Then, the project got out of hand, and they built a huge cathedral that is dazzling when the lights are turned on , since it's buried inside the mountain. You have to walk along a 200 yards tunnel to access it.

Doris Dallaire, I've been to the cathedral in Cologne and it IS very beautiful !

Ellen Duff, I've seen it many times. I'm Canadian, but lived in Durham area for about 15 years. I used to love walking along the river walk there. And the Cathedral IS beautiful!

They're all very unusual, and beautiful in their way. # 14 in Guatamala is VERY Guatamalan looking. But # 6 in Columbia is my favorite. It's absolutely beautiful, and such a beautiful location.
