Architectural Marvels: World's 10 Spectacular Churches

Ely Cathedral, England:
Ely Cathedral in Cambridgeshire is a magnificent medieval cathedral with various unique characteristics. It is known locally as “the ship of the Fens”, because of its prominent shape that towers above the surrounding flat and watery landscape. The foundations for this spectacular stone church, set amid poppy fields in the countryside outside of Cambridge, were laid by Benedictine monks in the 11th century. Today, the church is best known as a shining example of Norman architecture, marking the Romanesque style's arrival in Britain.

Duomo (Milan Cathedral), Italy:
The Duomo di Milano, Milan’s magnificent Gothic cathedral, is one of the world’s largest Gothic churches. It is dedicated to Santa Maria Nascente (Saint Mary Nascent) and located right in the center of Milan, Italy. Over the years numerous master builders were involved and the initial design was continuously altered to make the church even more spectacular. The long construction period also led to a mash-up of a variety of styles but the final result is surprisingly homogenous, with a decidedly flamboyant Gothic design.
