What are your favorite cathedrals/basilicas?

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

Mises

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

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

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

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

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