It was never finished (only the crypt was completed before they ran out of money) but the Catholic Cathedral of Christ the King is often called the greatest building never built:
Since the foundations are complete (and under the current cathedral of Liverpool, a concrete teepee) I hope that one day it might finished. I can only imagine how much that would cost though...

That is also very spectacular. How did they get all the gold? There must be a whole Fort Knox of the stuff up there!
Is it just a gold covering or solid blocks?
Gurdwara Punja Sahib, Pakistan.

The top is solid gold. The sides are gold plated. It was donated by Maharaja Ranjit Singh.
^ Avar, what are Sikh people are doing in the temple? Like a prayer way I mean.
This is a Mosque in Istanbul. I liked it in the picture. Not sure if it's been posted before. Do the minarets symbolise anything?
is that a Sikh temple? It and the Golden temple are both very beatiful, though in very different ways. What form does a Sikh temple usually take - is there a standard 'look'?Gurdwara Punja Sahib, Pakistan....
The Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, on top of the supposed (temporary) tomb of Jesus. This church is always the site of fights between different Christian denominations, and even the key to the door is kept with one muslim (and therefore neutral family), with the actual job of opening the door the duty of another muslim family.
The Gurdwara, men sit on the right women on the left in silence crossed legged on the floor Shoes off, head covered. We listen to the prayers from the Guru Granth Sahib. (Holy Book)format_quote Originally Posted by RighteousLady

I like this thread
St Pauls, for centuries one of the greatest churches on Christendom.
Though perhaps not as impressive as the previous St Pauls - which was one third taller, the tallest building in the world, and along with old London Bridge made London one of the wonders of the medieaval world:

Ok. I'll let some Mosques get posted!
Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque
This Mosque since it started construction in 1996 underwent many many redesigns and ended up costing 10 times the original price. Tourists are allowed in with tour guides and also get the chance to learn more about islam and islamic architecture
These amazing pictures taken by Osama, who happens to be an enviromental engineer with a very good eye !
