Punctuating so many skylines across the world, churches are often a city\u2019s architectural centerpiece for good reason. Traditionally built on a cross plan, a great variety of styles now exist, from the glittering domes of the Balkans to the magnificent spires of Western Europe. Here, we look at six glorious and unusual churches that\u2019ll leave a profound impression on any who visit.<\/p>\n

Saint St. Sava, Belgrade<\/h3>\n

Completed in 1989 and dedicated to the founder of the Serbian Church, Saint Sava, this church sits where the martyr is supposed to have been burned alive by a Turkish pasha\u00a0in 1595. Dominating the modern skyline of Belgrade from its perch atop the\u00a0Vra\u010dar plateau, it\u2019s currently (with a 4,000-ton dome and 18 gold crosses) the largest Orthodox church in the world that\u2019s still in use, and a real pillar of the Serbian faith.<\/p>\n

St. Domnius, Split<\/h3>\n

Consecrated at the turn of the 7th century and comprising a Roman mausoleum and a bell tower, the cathedral of St. Domnius is the oldest Catholic cathedral in the world that remains in use (in its original structure). Once the Emperor Diocletian\u2019s mausoleum and lavishly decorated, it\u2019s rather ironically now named after one of the martyrs he created in a particularly severe persecution.<\/p>\n

St. Demetrios, Thessaloniki<\/h3>\n

The 7th century St. Demetrios was sadly reduced to a cinder in a 1917 fire. Lovingly restored over the following decades, it\u2019s now a UNESCO World Heritage Site with rare mosaics (that can be dated to the period just before iconoclasm), the ruins of a Roman bath where St. Demetrios was said to have been executed, as well as sculptures, the original ciborium and an ancient ambo.<\/p>\n

St Sophia, Sofia<\/h3>\n

One of the oldest functioning churches in Europe, St Sophia sits adjacent to its far younger 19th century sibling, the Alexander Nevsky cathedral. First built in 4th century, it\u2019s considered a very prestigious location having hosted one of the first major Christian Councils, the Council of Serdica, in AD 343. The building seen today, however, is the Emperor Justinian\u2019s work \u2013 making it a rough contemporary of that other great Byzantine monument, Hagia Sophia.<\/p>\n

Church of Holy Nativity, Bethlehem<\/h3>\n

Marking the site of Christ\u2019s birth, the doorway in the thick, stocky wall of the Church of Holy Nativity is positively hobbit-like at only 1.2 meters high. Most likely a deterrence to looters (who had a habit of driving their carts in), it still makes for quite a quirky entrance to one of the world\u2019s most important churches. Called \u201cthe earth\u2019s most sacred spot\u201d by the Church Father Jerome, Constantine the Great seems to have agreed, building a church over its cave in AD 339.<\/p>\n

The Black Church, Brasov<\/h3>\n

Located at the heart of Brasov, Biserica Neagra \u2013 the \u201cBlack Church\u201d (so called because of its smoke-blackened walls \u2013 sullied by a fire that destroyed much of it in 1689) is one of Romania\u2019s greatest gothic churches. Known for its impressive collection of rugs, sourced from all over Asia Minor, as well as its crest of John Hunyadi (the scourge of the Ottomans), this house of God is very much a storybook in stone.<\/p>\n
