Here is a guide to five of the most magnificent cathedrals for you to visit on your next trip to Europe.

Chartes | France

One of the most famous of the world’s cathedrals, Chartres was built in the early 13th century and attracts tourists and pilgrims all year round. The cathedral is home to the Sancta Camisa relic, said to be a fragment of the Virgin Mary’s garment.

Cologne | Germany

Cologne Cathedral is the most visited landmark in Germany and the tallest twin tower church in the world. An exceptional masterpiece of Gothic architecture, this is a must-see for any trip to West Germany.

Barcelona | Spain

Famous for its wonderful array of gargoyles and mythical creatures, Barcelona cathedral is an aesthetic tour-de-force. A mixture of Gothic and Catalonian styles, it is an excellent example of the ecclesiastical variety.

Milan | Italy

Constructed over six centuries, Milan cathedral is a domineering and awe-inspiring example of the Italian style.

Canterbury | England

Canterbury Cathedral is one of the oldest and most famous Christian structures in the world. Home to the shrine of St Thomas Beckett, it’s the center of the Church in England.

Are you looking to narrow down your list of the top cathedrals to see while in Moscow? Here are the three which you absolutely must add to your list.

St Basil’s Cathedral

Arguably the most famous building in Moscow is St. Basil’s Cathedral, whose multi-colored domes tower high above the Red Square. A 16th-century gem, this church is both a cultural and a religious treasure for the country of Russia and a must-see no matter what.

Dormition Cathedral

Located within Moscow’s Kremlin is the Dormition Cathedral, which is much smaller than St. Basil’s but equally interesting. Consecrated nearly a century before St. Basil’s, the Dormition Cathedral combines Renaissance and Russian architectural styles to create a truly unique place of worship.

Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception

You might not associate Catholicism with Russia, but the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception is proof that this minority sect can stand its own in Moscow. The brick structure of this Neo-Gothic church commands the nearby skyline and contains stunning columns in its interior.

Located just outside of the city center on the top of a small mountain measuring 700 feet above sea level is the Santuario de Santa Luzia, which is Portugal’s most beautiful sanctuary.

Unique in the fact that it is only just over 80 years old, this religious site was built in the 20th century in order to serve as an altar of worship to St. Lucy.

It serves as the most interesting architectural piece in the entire city thanks to its interesting mix of neo-Gothic and Byzantine influences, combining the best of Eastern and Western Europe’s architectural heritage.

Visitors to the sanctuary can either make the steep, but relatively short, walk from the city center or travel in a quaint cable car to the top of the mountain, which provides beautiful views of the Lima River and the ocean as you ascend along its green slopes.

Any trip to the north of Portugal should include Viana do Castelo in its itinerary, and you’d be doing yourself a favor if you dedicate a morning or an afternoon to exploring this stunning sanctuary.

For real museum lovers, there is a lot to be seen in Granada – from the Archaeological Museum, which was built in 1867 and today contains precious Paleolithic and Neolithic objects, as well as Roman and Arabian artifacts, to the Granada Science Park and the Alhambra museum, which is about 17 centuries old. 

Next is the Sacromonte Quarter, where people still live in white caves carved into the rocks and dance the flamenco on the streets as if there’s no tomorrow.  

The local fruit and symbol of Granada is the pomegranate. You can see it everywhere around you, just waiting to be picked up and enjoyed. The local cuisine, just like everything here, is a mix of Andalusia and Arabia, and of course, it tastes out-of-this-world amazing.   

Near the gothic cathedral in the old town, you can see a plethora of tiny bars and restaurants with live music. Take your dancing shoes and leave your problems at home. Granada deserves all of your attention, and you deserve everything it has to offer!
