  1. Iglesia y Convento de San Francisco

    It is to my opinion the most beautiful church and abbey you can find in Salta City. It is devoted to Saint Francis, and it was first build in 1624, and declared National Historical Monument in 1941.

    It is highly recommendable to see this church at night, as it's wonderfully illuminated.

  2. Murbach Abbey

    Murbach Abbey (Abbaye de Murbach) is located in the foothills of the Voges, below the Grand Ballon, in southern Alsace, a few kilometers outside the small town of Guebwiller.

    Founded in 727AD it features a beautiful church (Saint Legere), one of the earliest vaulted Romanesque structures, but sadly it isn't complete anymore - during the French Revolution the church's nave and many of the other buidings of the monastery were destroyed.

  3. Santuario de Chimayó

    Supposedly the dirt here has sacred healing powers. The santuario is the most visited church in new mexico.

  4. Trinity Church

    The Trinity Church, located in Theater Square, Vladimir, Russia currently houses a Museum of Blown Glass.

  5. Knyaz-Vladimirskaya Church

    The bright yellow Knyaz-Vladimirskaya Church dates from 1785. It's located near the eastern edge of the center of Vladimir, in the midst of a large cemetery.

  6. Bogoyavlensky Church

    Located along the bank of the Angara River in downtown Irkutsk, the vibrant colors of this church make it definitely worth seeing.

  7. Old Believers' Cathedral

    Despite its location in the center of the historic town of Vladimir, few people are aware of the existance of the beautiful Old Believers' Church, dating from 1644. So-called Old Believers separated from the Russian Orthodox Church in 1666 over a disagreement with reforms instituted by the Church hierarchy.

  8. Nikolo-Kremlevskaya Church... and Planetarium!

    The Nikolo-Kremlevskaya Church, located on Bolshaya Moskovskaya, the main street of historic downtown Vladimir, was built in 1761. It currently serves as the Vladimir Planetarium!

  9. Kutna-Hora Bone Church

    Kutna-Hora is a small village located just a few miles east of the Czech Republic's capital city, Prague. Kutna-Hora would be a fairly anonymous town were it not for its bizarre, and some might say macabre attraction, THE BONE CHURCH OF KUTNA-HORA.

  10. Vsekhsvyatsky Cathedral

    Located just up the hill from downtown Tula, Vsekhsvyatsky Cathedral is worth seeing - as is its accompanying cemetery.
