When it comes to large buildings, few structures are quite as grand and impressive as churches. After all, their stained glass windows, marble finishings, and beautiful artwork make them a sight to behold, and to this day there are millions of parishioners that visit them regularly. However, while most churches operate on a small scale, there are a few churches that provide services to thousands of people per week, with some even having more seats than many professional sports stadiums! So today, grab your hymn books and prepare to be amazed as we count down the Top 15 Biggest Megachurches in the World!

It doesn't look like an overglorified office building cafeteria. It doesn't look like a church was put in a parking lot with some white walls. This is a wonderfully beautiful interior. It's riotously colorful, but also graceful. It uses the enormous space to full effect, with those huge mosaics under the dome shimmering so brightly. The mosaics themselves are also so delicate-looking, and proportional. Love that there is this electric blue tinge underlying most of the mosaics and the space itself. Truly a sight to see! I would love to visit now! Reminds me of the breathtaking modern interior of the Sagrada Familia cathedral in Barcelona.

@bubbaraywoods Жыл бұрын

Liverpool is bigger though. The Roman Catholic cathedral there was supposed to be even bigger but was scaled back due to ww2. It’s still got it’s original crypt though which is huge.

well you can't argue with statistics. Liverpool Anglican Cathedral is biggest in U.K. there is another Cathedral very close by, the Catholic Cathedral known as the Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King. both are sperated by a short street called 'Hope Street'. both are worth a visit when in City of Liverpool.

Ulm cathedral might be the tallest protestant cathedral but it is in no other way the largest. That honor belongs to York Minster in England.

@mikesaunders4775 Жыл бұрын

Until the late 19th century Salisbury (404ft) had the tallest spire, It was a decision of Kaiser Wilhelm the second to give Ulm its spire to wind up Queen Victoria.

Aya Sofya isn't important for its size and decoration, but its architecture. It's the first building with a dome in history, and a model for practically every church and mosque since then. It's really underestimated even by Greeks for the sake of the Parthenon, which is actually not so hard to build.

To put things into perspective, Angkor Wat in Cambodia is still the largest religious structure ever built and is still being used for religious purposes today. Theravada Buddhist monks and nuns can still be seen today practicing the religion. Angkor Wat is still a site for pilgrimage for Buddhists today.
