St Francis Xavier Basilica
In Dyersville, Iowa, the Basilica (from the Greek meaning "Royal House") features Gothic Revival architecture. The two steeples are 212 feet (65 m) tall with 14 feet (4.3 m) crosses that cap the spires. This helps make the church visible from miles away across the rolling farmland. Pilots often use these steeples as landmarks during flights. The interior of the church is decorated with a number of paintings and frescoes, and 64 large cathedral glass windows. We grew up near here.
