  • Matthias Church

    Matthias Church

    Matthias Church has been a coronation hall, a mosque, and a Neo-Gothic canvas — every era left its mark on the walls.

  • Sistine Chapel

    Sistine Chapel

    The no-photography rule at the Sistine Chapel is the best thing about it — silence forces you to actually look.

  • Pantheon

    The oculus is 30 feet wide and open to the sky — rain falls straight onto the floor and drains through ancient Roman holes still doing their job.

  • Temple of Olympian Zeus

    15 columns still stand. The 16th fell in 1852 and never got up — it’s still lying there, which tells you everything about this place.

  • Blue Mosque

    Blue Mosque

    The six minarets caused controversy in 1616 — only Mecca had that many. Inside, 20,000 Iznik tiles justify every bit of the audacity.

  • Aachen Cathedral
