15 BIGGEST Mega Churches on Earth

Cologne cathedral is missing, it's a huge master piece!

As a muslim i admire how beautifully and creativity these churches and cathedrals have been built. Really beautiful pieces of art.

The Cologne cathedral should at least get an honorable mention. It's massive, it took centuries to build, and it even has the ruins of part of the Roman city in the basement.

Ulm Cathedral was also tallest building of its time when it got finished

The Cologne Cahedral and Saint Sava Temple in Belgrade…

As a French from the country which invented gothic and which has the most cathedrals , i can say the Sevilla cathedral of Spain is the most impressive and best to visit

Im missing Cologne Cathedral in this.

The Church of Holy Wisdom (Hagia Sophia) is the most amazing cathedral but most of the western world have no idea what has happened to it

Isn't it amazing how these buildings have survived centuries of wars and earthquakes?

Nobody can claim to have seen them all - or even a quarter - but among the most awesome cathedrals in the world I count Cologne, Strasbourg, Reims and Albi (the only one in bricks but just as voluminous as the others). Milan’s Duomo is also quite a sight to behold.

Bravo on your respectful but candid scholarship here. Fascinating and surprising material!

The Rotunda church in Mosta, Malta has the third unsupported dome in the world. The design of the church is based on the  Pantheon in Rome. It was the site of an air bombing during world war II. A bomb fell right through the dome and did not explode.

Liverpool Cathedral is truly awesome and well worth a visit. The Lady Chapel on its own would be an impressive neo-Gothic church.

'Mega church' has the same energy as calling an aquarium a water zoo

The 'reconquista' was not Catholics recovering Spain from the Moors, it was Christians reclaiming Spain for Christian Europe. At the time of the reconquista, the Reformation had not yet taken place.

Inaccuracy about St. Peters Basilica. St. Peter was not the founder of the Catholic Faith, it was Christ himself. (Mt 16:18). St. Peter was the first pope.

beautiful churches ❤ you feel in them like you are in heaven 🙏

My friend was one of the carpenters who built Liverpool Anglican Cathedral and his mark is still hidden on the back of the altar. Feels strange seeing it amongst these, but it is an incredible experience, especially when singing, transcendent.

St Sava Temple ( Church of Saint Sava ) in Belgrade is missing, also Saint Basil's Cathedral in Moscow or Alexander Nevsky Cathedral in Sofia. Make part two !

At 12:52. OMG, a modern church interior that I actually like! I was dreading seeing the interior from the plain exterior. But, wow, am I pleasantly surprised! It doesn't look like an overglorified office building cafeteria. It doesn't look like a church was put in a parking lot with some white walls. This is a wonderfully beautiful interior. It's riotously colorful, but also graceful. It uses the enormous space to full effect, with those huge mosaics under the dome shimmering so brightly. The mosaics themselves are also so delicate-looking, and proportional. Love that there is this electric blue tinge underlying most of the mosaics and the space itself. Truly a sight to see! I would love to visit now! Reminds me of the breathtaking modern interior of the Sagrada Familia cathedral in Barcelona.
