Question World's greatest religious sites?

While building up the new navigational menus, I was looking for topic-specific pictures to go with each, and I thought upon religious buildings and monuments...

That had myself thinking - which are the world's greatest religious sites? Which places are the epitome of faith and worship? Where are the world's diverse expressions of belief most singularly characterised?

A general interest topic...

Re: World's greatest religious sites?

well for Islam its the Holy Ka'ba(The House Of Allah(God) located in Saudi Arabia's city of Mekkah where only Muslims are permitted to go, and Madinah as well which has Masjid-e-Nabvi(Holy Prophet's(SAW) messnger i.e the last prophet. I have been to these places and there are millions that go there evry year, no doubt once ure at these places, u can gain the ultimate peace inside your heart, that cannot be explained but rather felt.

Re: World's greatest religious sites?

Don't forget to include the greatest Greek Orthodox church which is located on the Greek Island of Tinos, I've been there It's a very famous church for it's miracles and the main church of the Orthodox faith, since we lost Constantinople. Anyone is allowed in. The Church is called Panagia Tis Tinou, means the Virgin Mary of Tinou.

Re: World's greatest religious sites?

it is a good topic

i will go with Notre Dame in France & the University & Cathedral in the state of Inidana.

I have not been to France. I have been to the campus in Indiana (home of the Fighting Irish) and it has its own zip code, thus making it a city to itself.

The dome has real gold in the paint.

I've been to the Notre Dame, was there last year and went to the bell tower too.. Excellent building, absolutely beautiful even more so inside.
