I suggested the Malaga cathedral in the comments of your last video. It’s missing one of its large spires because the money intended to be spent on its completion was donated to the American Revolutionists in their efforts to defeat the British. Approximately 125 years later, American President Teddy Roosevelt heard of the unfinished spire and offered to finish the project. The Malaga people declined, deciding they liked their little place in American history.
If . . . you ever choose to profile Birmingham Cathedral, eponymously named for The City, have I GOT a mindblowing factoid about it, for you!! None other than Dr. Anthony ("Tony") F. Iommi, PhD. (Honorary Doctorate conferred upon him by Coventry University--he's also a part time Faculty Member!), Heavy Metal Guitarist Extraordinaire, founder of the band Black Sabbath, was commissioned by the Dean, to compose a Liturgical Piece for use in REGULAR ROTATION, in its Orders of Worship Services. The original version, of course, features a lot of his "ominous" electric guitar "tricks", with a separate orchestral track, and Men's and Boy's Choirs. To my ear, it sounds extremely Reverential, Meditative, and UPLIFTING. After a little exposure to organ playing and composition, he also penned an organ-scored transcription! Boy, would I LOVE to hear that. I've seen him, and his various ensembles play live, about 13 times, every time a TREAT!
@@rjculliford Yes, THAT'S it! I forgot its name, and it does put one into a "churchy" worshipful state of mind. Tony really knows how to NAIL those things.
Did you, "VG", or any of the rest of you, see those grand American TV Miniseries's, "The Winds of War", & "War and Remembrance"? The Duomo de Siena was a major "character" in those, as surely as Robert Mitchum played one!!
Thanks for the notes (in more ways than one) about that one Cathedral Organ. Now, please, it's time to get "organised", for "Notable Cathedral Organs of the World". Thanks in advance, of that effort, if you can pull it off!
Frauenkirche had many splendid Synagogue/Temple emulators, before The Third Reich destroyed them all, in Munich, too. I should say, "VG", thanks to you, ALL of the Cathedrals that you've profiled, now feel like old friends!
Hagia Sophia is included in this video: 10 OLDEST BUILDINGS Still in Use Today th-cam.com/video/JgM2lFWAuiA/w-d-xo.html. As one of the oldest and most important buildings.
A huge number to cover in the UK alone.... Wells, Winchester, Salisbury, York Minster, Exeter, St. Albans, St. Pauls and Westminster Abbey to name but a few.

May I suggest Hallgrimskirkja in Reykjavik, Iceland - stunning exterior & exterior, simplistic but very powerful.
Please include Prague's beautiful castle in a part 3. The cathedral is stunning, especially when seen from the old town and the Charles bridge.

Thank you for sharing! I will consider including Malaga in the next part.

Is the liturgical piece "How good it is"? Just heard it on yotube, pretty neat, good tip. :)

With Notre Dame's gargoyles, the 1939 movie, "The Hunchback of Notre Dame", could possibly then have some continuity errors (OOOPPPSSS!!),

I am surprised you covered the Puebla Cathedral when the one in Mexico City is much larger and grander.
Please don't forget Nidaros Cathedral in the next part, very unique for being in northern europe and the northernmost medieval cathedral in the world
The RDJ Cathedral had me thinking about "Star Trek".
I await part 3 since there are many more grand cathedrals in the world.
Frauenkirche had many splendid Synagogue/Temple emulators, before The Third Reich destroyed them all, in Munich, too. I should say, "VG", thanks to you, ALL of the Cathedrals that you've profiled, now feel like old friends!
Thank you for the nice comment! I really appreciate it!
Hagia Sophia, please

May I suggest a certain church in Rome?
Which church?
