Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, Washington D.C., USA
Built in 1920, the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception is the largest Catholic church in the United States. Its neoclassical interiors feature as many as 70 chapels honoring Mary and many mosaics inspired by St. Mark’s Church in Venice. Its facade was built in the style of medieval churches, using masonry walls and columns. But what perhaps steals the scene when looking at it from outside is the blue and gold “Trinity” dome, completed in 2017.
