Amazing Churches of the World: More Than 100 Cathedrals, Chapels & Basilicas

Even for those people who aren't religious, great churches make us stop and look. It's not only their size that commands our attention, but their sculptures, frescos and stained-glass windows, their sounds - and their history, too.

From London's St. Paul's to New York's St. Patrick's to Brasilia's modernist cathedral, from a church built on top of a Mesoamerican pyramid to a chapel in Antarctica, from Catholic to Protestant, Orthodox to Coptic, Amazing Churches of the World features, in 190 photographs, the stories of more than 150 Christian chapels, basilicas, abbeys, and cathedrals.
