The Seville Cathedral



The Cathedral of Saint Mary of the See, better known as Seville Cathedral, is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Seville , Spain. It is the largest Gothic cathedral and the third-largest church in the world, that was registered in 1987 by UNESCO as a world heritage site. The Seville Cathedral has fifteen doors on its four facades, each with its unique name and design such as the Door of Baptism (decorated with a scene depicting the baptism of Jesus) and the Door of Saint Michael (featuring  sculptures by Pedro Millan representing the birth of Jesus).
The 135 meter (443 ft) long and 100 meter (330 ft) wide cathedral contains 80 chapels as well as another great historical feature, the burial site of Christopher Columbus.

Cathedral of Saint John the Divine



The largest Anglican cathedral in the world, the interior of ST. John covers 121,000 sq ft (11,200 sq meters), spanning a length of 601 ft (183.2 meters) and height of 232 ft (70.7 meters). The great west doors that lead to New York's Amsterdam Avenue are probably the most iconic part of the church. They were designed between 1927 and 1931 and show 48 panels describing scenes from the Old and New Testaments, as well as the Apocalypse.
The size and structure of the Cathedral's interior create superb levels of natural acoustics, making St. John a center for concert musical performances in New York. However, the best music in St John's comes from the sounds of prayers and chants, accompanied by a great organ. Currently valued at over eight billion U.S. dollars, it is considered to be a priceless treasure in both the worlds of music and Christianity.
