Breathtakingly beautiful and historical churches! Thank you so much for sharing.

How could a cathedral like St. Basil's in Moscow be excluded? A "wonder of the world," to be sure!

Number 24, i've been there, is in Colombia :)

All the churches are beatiful.for me the number 24 is the most interest.by the way we are at 21th century and the most interest buildings in the whole world are the churches.

Fantastic. I can imagine the history behind these churches!

You should check out Seville cathedral: it's the largest gothic cathedral in the world, is home to the tomb of Columbus, and is just generally incredible!

Thats great
