    San Luigi dei Francesi in Rome because of the Caravaggio tryptique, and the Pantheon 300m away which is technically a church.

    The best churches are in the Cuacus region; semi-abandoned pieces of history you can feel it ease in as a traveler.

    Frick every active israelitecult centre.

    after walking 800km's for it, the cathedral of Santiago de compostella was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Unique style, great interior, great vibe of the visitors botafumeiro, has one of 8 holy doors in the world, has a dead apostle. also the city is touristic but still feels authentic and historic unlike shit like Prague

      This was the first one I thought of as well. On aesthetics alone, it may not be the most beautiful building I’ve ever walked into, but I doubt I’ll ever feel the same way walking into a church as I did after walking to this one from France. Best thing I’ve ever done in my life, honestly.

    if we consider the context of visiting the church - i really liked Norwich Cathedral. it is grand in stature, sure its nice, has old foundation - most uk cathedrals the interior artwork doesnt compare to mainland catholic ones and they are beautiful exteriors they don't have as intricate design as the central european ones - so based just on the church alone its nice but doesn't compare to others, but norwich itself was a rather chill town that is out of the way in uk - if people go to london, there are other more famous towns they'd do day trips to closer by, and by extension there was almost nobody at the church when i went - just a few old people coming for the chior in the evening, you could walk the cloister all by yourself.
    It is located in a quiet area of town, just off the road of the medieval area of town and on the otherside is fancy old residential neighborhood.
    relaxing to explore.

    Durham is great for its external views - from the river or of the city skyline it really stands out. interior and design nice but mainland Europe has better. moderately touristy city, not nearly as bad as many famous cathedral towns

        Amazing

        Pictures don’t do it justice, seeing the scope of the valley and hearing the river and waterfalls adds so much to it. It’s out of the way from most of the big cities but if you’re ever crossing the border from Colombia to Ecuador it’s right by the crossing.

    unfortunately i don't retain that deep memories of churches because i've visited so many but quite often i'll get completely awestruck when i walk into one
    in recent times that has happened to me in Crete, Toulouse, Segovia, Braga, and today in Guimarães with the church of St. Francis
    pic doesn't do it justice, the chancel is a thing of beauty, with astonishing mixture of tile, gold leaf, and painted wood
    also have the memory of the most beautiful detail, which i once saw in Madrid, will look it up tomorrow
    architecturally, it has to be Cologne Cathedral though, though Castille boasts a great collection of absolutely splendid cathedrals as well, highly recommend a tour of the region

    It is difficult to rank them because each place of worship is so different.
    1. Seville Cathedral
    2. Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba
    3. Heddal Stave Church
    4. Vezelay
    5. Granada Cathedral
    I think Notre Dame would by 6th for me (before the fire, haven't been after).

    Holy Sepulchre for obvious reasons and the Tomb of the Theotokos (not really a church but oh well).
    Saint Peter's in Rome and Church of All Nations in Gethsemane for the most beautiful visuals.

    You cannot miss the Tomb of the Theotokos if you go to Israel. Even if you're protestant and have no respect for the Mother of God you should still go. It's such a wonderfully sombre, quiet and peaceful place.

    In terms of sheer uniqueness it's the churches in Tigray. Not as architecturally stunning as what you'd find across Europe or South America but other than Lalibela and Armenia I've never gone out of my way to reach a church outside of a city and to have these places accompanied by incredible surroundings is another special element.

    I really like the Greek Orthodox Church of the Annunciation in Nazareth. It's cozy but still has some ancient gravitas to it. I washed my rosary in their little spring in the back which is where Mary supposedly drew water, which was v nice.

          >The Berlin Cathedral (German: Berliner Dom), also known as the Evangelical Supreme Parish and Collegiate Church, is a monumental German Evangelical church and dynastic tomb (House of Hohenzollern) on the Museum Island in central Berlin.
          >The present collegiate church was built from 1894 to 1905 by order of Emperor William II

          Luther - 1517
          Berliner Dom - 1905

          Moreover, when countries became protestant (like Norway and England) it was the exact same people in the exact same churches as before the reformation

              A byzantine church turned mosque, whether we like it or not

              It's from before the great schism so it's improper to call it "catholic" or "orthodox" at the exclusion of the other. After the schism it was an orthodox church, just like a protestant church became such after the reformation.
