This is a perfect example of how medieval cathedral builders totally ignored how hard their building would be to photograph 900 years later! Joking aside, it IS quite hard to photograph the front of this cathedral and get it all because of the buildings surrounding it. This is the best I could do - but at least I could capture how intimidating and high the towers are...
Outside the cathedral Notre Dame in Bayeux. It was originally in Romanesque style but later rebuilt in Gothic style. The cathedral was consecrated in 1077 in the presence of William the Conqueror (who was also the Duke of Normandy) - but the build had started already around 1040 and mostly finished in the 15th century.
The Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia also known as Barcelona Cathedral, is the Gothic cathedral and seat of the Archbishop of Barcelona.
Such magnificent beauty! “Saint Gatien's Cathedral is a Roman Catholic church located in Indre-et-Loire, France. It is part of the Archdiocese of Tours and is the metropolitan cathedral of the Tours ecclesiastical province. The edifice was built between 1170 and 1547.”
Amiens Cathedral is the largest gothic structure in France. This enormous building has a surface area of 7,700 m2 and can shelter 10,000 people within its walls, or the population of Amiens during the Middle Ages. A veritable feat of architecture, Amiens cathedral is one of the largest in Europe and was listed as a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 1981.
construite principalement entre 1220 et 1365, à été pendant le XVIIIe siècle l'édifice le plus haut du monde!...(142 mètres!)
Admiré par Victor Hugo, c'est une "dentelle" de pierre d'une finesse inouïe, qui résiste aux siècles!...
Murcia Cathedral has many Renaissance and Baroque elements, although its interior is fundamentally Gothic.
Created in 1394 on the site of a former mosque. It was bishop Fernando de Pedrosa who placed the cornerstone. The interior is Gothic. The façade is Baroque and was built according to design by Jaime Bort. It has a 95-metre tower that took more than two hundred years to build with the involvement of many different architects, of whom Ventura Rodríguez stands out especially. Los Vélez Chapel is Flamboyant Gothic and has a vaulted ceiling with star-shaped skylights, while Los Junterones Chapel is in Renaissance style.
Dormition Cathedral in Kolomna. Three-domed Assumption Cathedral was founded in 1379 by Grand Prince Dmitry Donskoy after the first victory of Russian troops over the Golden Horde in the Battle of the River Vozha. Construction of the cathedral lasted one year, presumably in his paintings participated Pheophan Grek. Cathedral stood until 1672, when it was demolished due to dilapidation. On the place of the demolished church for 10 years was built new, preserved to this day (architect Meletios Alekseev).
The cathedral of Ste Croix in Orleans dominates the landscape in the impressive manner all great monuments do, its twin towers visible from most locations within the city. The first church of this name was built on this site during the 10th century - some of its foundations are preserved to this day, so it is truly historical!
Due to historical events and religious wars a variety of places of worship in a Roman or Gothic style have succeeded one another on the original site.
A part of the front of Reims Cathedral - it's so big that photographing the complete front poses problems.

Canterbury is a historic English cathedral city and UNESCO World Heritage Site, situated in the heart of the City of Canterbury, a local government district of Kent, England. It lies on the River Stour.
Canterbury is a popular tourist destination: consistently one of the most-visited cities in the United Kingdom, the city's economy is heavily reliant upon tourism. The city has been occupied since Paleolithic times and served as the capital of the Celtic Cantiaci and Jute Kingdom of Kent. Many historical structures fill the area, including a city wall founded in Roman times and rebuilt in the 14th century, the ruins of St Augustine's Abbey and a Norman castle, and the oldest extant school in the world, the King's School. Modern additions include the Marlowe Theatre and the St Lawrence Ground, home of the Kent County Cricket Club. There is also a substantial student population, brought about by the presence of the University of Kent, Canterbury Christ Church University, the University for the Creative Arts, and the Girne American University Canterbury campus. Canterbury remains, however, a small city in terms of geographical size and population, when compared with other British cities.
As you liked yesterday's church, lets stick with the theme, shall we? But yesterday, we had an old and catholic one, today it's time for new and orthodox. The Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ in Podgorica has only been finished in 2013.
It's even more impressive from the inside, but I'll show that to you tomorrow.
