Aleteia chooses seven sites that played key roles in Christian history -- and remain places of pilgrimage and prayer to the present day.
You have heard of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Considering the transformative impact that Christianity has had on the world since then, why not choose seven wonders of the Catholic world? Of course, we are well aware that there are many dozens of amazing sites to choose from, if not more. Note that we did not call this list “The 7 Wonders”!
Some of our choices would make anyone’s list, but there are others that you may well quibble with. Feel free to add your choices and criticisms in the comments below.
