Stoccolma, Svezia
Katedrala (Zagreb Cathedral) There has been a church on this site in Zagreb since the 12th century, but today's neo-Gothic facade, complete with twin steeples, was erected after an earthquake in 1880. Soaring upwards from the square outside the church is the startling gold statue of the Madonna, with four equally vivid angels at her feet. Inside, on the north wall, note a 12th-century inscription in Glagolitic script (a predecessor to Cyrillic) and a series of 13th-century frescoes. The tomb of Archbishop Alojzije Stepinac is a source of some controversy, as he had been convicted of colluding with the Nazis during the WWII but was later exonerated by Pope John Paul II.
