17 Most Beautiful Churches in the World

"As they are designed and built to hold religious services and invoke and inspire the worship of God, churches have long counted amongst society's most important and impressive buildings. This is because religious leaders built large churches with spires reaching towards the heavens, and monumental facades covered in scenes from the bible to convey the majesty and power of God.

Over the centuries and millennia, aesthetics slowly changed: Romanesque and Gothic architecture gave way to Renaissance and Baroque features. The glittering treasures and divine artworks within their chapels and naves also changed with the times. Nowadays, these beautiful churches make for some of the most important architectural and historical landmarks around, with millions of worshippers and tourists visiting them every year." -touropia
