What are your favorite cathedrals/basilicas?

Sacré-Cœur in Paris is more beautiful than Notre Dame, but without the history

Mises

4/15/19 3:01pm

That along with the location and views put it at the top of my list.

Sainte-chapelle is stunning. That, plus Notre Dame & St Peter’s are my favorites

St. Paul's Outside the Walls and St. John Lateran were so impressive to me

My favorite is La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. Haven’t been to Paris tho so I’m biased.

Yes La Sagrada Familia is AMAZING inside and out. A weird, cool, gothic vibe on

Easily my favorite.

I am jealous. You will be amazed and blown away the minute you walk inside of it

Burgos is very beautiful, but the Leon cathedral a few hours away is even

León has that great square. But the Burgos cathedral is just amazing.

La Sagrada Familia. In some ways a very non-traditional design in a very traditional format, but clean and stunning on

The Duomo in Siena, Italy. The different color marble stripes inside are so unique.

chago04

4/15/19 3:31pm

I’m assuming you were able to attend the Palio di Siena? Bucket list for me

Dynasty1

4/15/19 3:41pm

Yeah, I attended 2 when I lived there. It is unreal, I am planning on going back hopefully next year for another.

That would be nuts. What a crazy event. I’ll bet that was cool.

What is really impressive is to go to the piazza one day and it to be normal and then the next they have

Sagrada Familia. Nothing quite like it. Style on the outside is interesting and unique. Interior is something else.
