This is an amazing place. But you can only photographs the outside and NO PHOTOGRAPHY INSIDE.
The is an amazing chapel. Shame you cannot photograph the amazing inside. The guide and the history of the place is brilliant.
You would not be able to photograph because you are packed in like sardines. There are that many people visiting the chapel.

These are photos taken on my trip to Europe and the UK with a girl friend in October to November 2012. My camera I had then wasn't good with low light so some of these shots are not great but I have put them as my memories of the trip.
We arrived in late morning in Bath by train from London. Spent one night here and most of the next day.
Bath Abbey is a parish church of the Church of England and former Benedictine monastery in Bath, Somerset, England. Founded in the 7th century, it was reorganised in the 10th century and rebuilt in the 12th and 16th centuries; major restoration work was carried out by Sir George Gilbert Scott in the 1860s. It is one of the largest examples of Perpendicular Gothic architecture in the West Country. The medieval abbey church served as a sometime cathedral of a bishop. After long contention between churchmen in Bath and Wells the seat of the Diocese of Bath and Wells was later consolidated at Wells Cathedral. The Benedictine community was dissolved in 1539 during the Dissolution of the Monasteries.

Could have gone for religious symbol with this as well but had covered that so opted for the triangle category.
The Basílica i Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família (Catalan pronunciation: [səˈɣɾaðə fəˈmiɫiə]; English: Basilica and Expiatory Church of the Holy Family), is a large Roman Catholic church in Barcelona, Spain, designed by Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí (1852–1926). Although incomplete, the church is a UNESCO World Heritage Site,[5] and in November 2010 Pope Benedict XVI consecrated and proclaimed it a minor basilica,[6][7][8] as distinct from a cathedral which must be the seat of a bishop.
Construction of Sagrada Família had commenced in 1882 and Gaudí became involved in 1883,[5] taking over the project and transforming it with his architectural and engineering style, combining Gothic and curvilinear Art Nouveau forms. Gaudí devoted his last years to the project, and at the time of his death at age 73 in 1926 less than a quarter of the project was complete.[9] Sagrada Família's construction progressed slowly, as it relied on private donations and was interrupted by the Spanish Civil War, only to resume intermittent progress in the 1950s. Construction passed the midpoint in 2010 with some of the project's greatest challenges remaining[9] and an anticipated completion date of 2026, the centenary of Gaudí's death.
The basílica has a long history of dividing the citizens of Barcelona: over the initial possibility it might compete with Barcelona's cathedral, over Gaudí's design itself,[10] over the possibility that work after Gaudí's death disregarded his design,[10] and the recent proposal to build an underground tunnel of Spain's high-speed rail link to France which could disturb its stability.[11] Describing Sagrada Família, art critic Rainer Zerbst said, "It is probably impossible to find a church building anything like it in the entire history of art"[12] and Paul Goldberger called it, "The most extraordinary personal interpretation of Gothic architecture since the Middle Ages."[13]
Christchurch art centre on a walk around the city to catch up with the earthquake rebuild with a Flickr friend. Christchurch September 2018 New Zealand.
The Arts Centre te Matatiki Toi Ora is housed in the Gothic Revival buildings of the University of Canterbury’s former town site. The centre is a national landmark and includes New Zealand’s largest collection of category one heritage buildings with 21 of the 23 buildings covered by Heritage New Zealand listings.
The University of Canterbury was founded in 1873. It moved in 1876 to the gracious 19th century Gothic-styled buildings (which now comprise the Arts Centre). The clock tower in Worcester Street was the first building constructed. It was designed by the pre-eminent Gothic Revival architect, Benjamin Mountfort, and was completed in 1877.
The rest of the stone buildings, designed by a number of prominent Canterbury architects such as Samuel Hurst Seager and William Barnett Armson and the firm of Collins and Harman, were added over the decades. This maze of inter-connecting buildings spread out over the whole 2.2 hectare town site. Included in this labyrinth were the original Girls’ High School on the corner of Rolleston Avenue and Hereford Street and the original Boys’ High School at 28 Worcester Street.
In the early hours of 4 September 2010, a major earthquake caused extensive damage throughout Canterbury. The Arts Centre te Matatiki Toi Ora buildings were damaged - collapsing chimneys damaged the Great Hall, the Observatory Tower and the Clock Tower.
The centre, which is held in trust for the people of Canterbury and its visitors, has been undergoing a large restoration since it was badly damaged in the 2011 Christchurch earthquake. Buildings are progressively reopening to the public as they are strengthened and repaired and more than half of the buildings have reopened.
The Arts Centre charitable trust is actively fundraising with the next stage to include the $10m restoration of the Observatory Tower and the restoration of the Physics, Biology and Engineering buldings. The Physics and Biology buildings will become home to a boutique hotel. The first buildings to reopen after the earthquake were Registry, Registry Additions and The Gym with Registry reopening in July 2013. The Great Hall opened in June 2016.

St. Stephen Lutheran Church – Milwaukee, Wisconsin
St. Stephen's was established as a mission church called Die Evangelische-Lutherische St. Stephanus-Gemeinde in 1853. The present Gothic Revival church was built in 1901 – 1902 to the plans of architects Otto Uehling and George Griswold. The building incorporates the steeple and clock from the previous church building. The church contains beautiful stained glass windows and a 3 manual pipe organ built Wangerin Organ Co. built in 1941 as Opus 831. The organ uses the case and much of the pipe work from the original 1902 Hann-Wangerin instrument. In 2005 Peters, Weiland & Co. of Milwaukee renovated the organ and installed a new console. St. Stephen’s is in the Historic Walker’s Point neighborhood of Milwaukee.
The North Transept Window. Drawing upon the dramatic story in the 'Golden Legend,' a thirteenth century compilation of sacred legends, this window shows the revelation of the True Cross by the restoration to life of a dead woman. The Cathedral of the Holy Cross has the finest examples of enamel painting on glass in the United States.
The construction of this renaissance style cathedral began in 1906, and held the first service in 1915. It was designed by a French architect, Emmanuel Masqueray. The exterior walls are made of Rockville granite from St.Cloud, Minnesota. The interior walls are American Travertine from Mankato, Minnesota and also many different kinds of imported marble was used in the columns and in the chaples surrounding the sanctuary.
