The Gothic cathedral of Siena - Duomo di Siena (though the dome is a later addition, designed by Baroque architect Bernini). It was began in 1196 - replacing an older church, consecrated sometime before or in 1215 (when daily mass was being held at the church), and finished in 1348.
Unfortunately, I didn't have time to actually go in - we still had a long way to go that day, and Siena was just a pit stop...

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.

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.”
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).
A part of the front of Reims Cathedral - it's so big that photographing the complete front poses problems.

The city center of Marseille is located more around the old Roman harbor and marina. The cathedral lies on the edge of the old town area near the sea and the port area.

Marseille Cathedral (French: Cathédrale Sainte-Marie-Majeure de Marseille [katedʁal sɛ̃t maʁi maʒœʁ də maʁsɛj] or Cathédrale de La Major or simply La Major; Occitan: Catedrala Santa Maria Majora de Marselha) is a Roman Catholic cathedral and a national monument of France. Located in Marseille, it has been a basilica minor since 1896. It is the seat of the Archdiocese of Marseille (the Diocese of Marseille until its elevation in 1948).
Old Cathedral
Part of the earlier, much smaller, cathedral still remains, alongside the newer one. It was built in the 12th century in a simple Romanesque style. Two bays of the nave were demolished in the 1850s, when the new cathedral was built. What remains is the choir and one bay of the nave, and these remaining parts are commonly referred to as the "Vieille Major". The composer Charles Desmazures was organist at the old cathedral.
Present Cathedral
The "Nouvelle Major" was built on an enormous scale in the Byzantine and Roman Revival styles. The foundation stone was laid by Emperor Napoleon III in 1852, and the first service was held in 1893. It was completed in 1896, given the title of minor basilica, and consecrated in 1897. It was built on the site used for the cathedrals of Marseille since the 5th century, principally by the architects Léon Vaudoyer and Henri-Jacques Espérandieu (1829-1874). It is 142 m (469 ft) long, and the main cupola is 70 m (231 ft) high. With a capacity of 3,000 seats, it is one of the largest cathedrals in France, covering a total of 7,680 square metres. It has been a listed monument since 1906.
