Cathedrals (various)

Cathedrals are large, impressive Christian churches that serve as the principal church of a diocese, led by a bishop. They are architectural masterpieces, often built with intricate designs, tall spires, and stained glass windows, designed to inspire awe and spiritual reflection. Different cultures and periods have developed various styles—Gothic with pointed arches and flying buttresses, Romanesque with thick walls and rounded arches, Renaissance with classic proportions, and modern designs blending traditional and innovative elements. Beyond their religious purpose, cathedrals also reflect the artistic, cultural, and historical values of their time and community.
