The largest church buildings were the cathedrals.
Of these, there were several that were very impressive and famous. One is St. Peter's Basilica, in Rome, which is presided over by the Pope. Another very famous one was the Hagia Sophia, the main cathedral of the Eastern Orthodox Church, in Constantinople, though this was later turned into a mosque.
A number of cathedrals are famous for their beautiful architecture. One is Notre Dame de Paris. Another (one of my personal favorites) is Salisbury Cathedral in Salisbury, England.

∙ 14y agoMost of the major ones were started and then finished much later. These are not buildings that were easy to build and often they had problems with construction. In Florence, Italy it took a total of 200 years before the Domo was finished. Many sat without a roof or a dome for many years or just parts completed. Imagine building a stone building without any help from machines. That's what these people did and it took generations. So, when you look at Norte Dame, The Domo, St. Marks, St. Pauls, or any of the other ones through out Europe you are looking at history.
