Any top ten list hoping we like stained glass and flying buttresses that omits Chartres is not serious.

How tf is Lincoln not on here…

Where are in this list, the cathedrals of Burgos, León and Basílicas of Sagrada Familia and Zaragoza in Spain?

Sagrada Familia really is what should top the list👍

As an architectural historian I rate Canterbury (particularly the interior) as not only the finest Gothic Cathedral in the world but also one of the finest buildings in the World of any age.

I think Lincoln Cathedral is by far and away the most impressive cathedral (and in my opinion building) in the world. I think Ruskin once said that it is worth any 2 other cathedrals in the isles. There is no beating Lincoln's west front, charm, history and character.

Seville's cathedral can't be considered a reverse Hagia sophia because Hagia Sophia was built by Christians and converted into mosque, but Seville cathedral was'nt build by muslims and converted into church. Seville's cathedral was built by christians.

I think some Holy Roman Emperor Emperors might be buried there, as opposed to “Roman” emperors.

It's Notre DAHM

That thumbnail is ridiculous, a Bishop or the Pope would be the least shocked to see a beautiful cathedral.

That's true

The Cordoba Cathedral is the reverse Hagia Sophia. It's basically the same structure as the Moorish mosque, but with Christian redecorations.

But the changes in Hagia Sophia was just the adition of the towers. The main building remain intact. In Cordova mosque they literaly build a church into the mosque

the sagrada familia is, in fact, not a cathedral. It is a minor basilica.

How does one differentiate between French Gothic and English Gothic?

@ObsidianHistory

I think French typically is a bit more dramatic (higher ceilings, thinner walls, etc)

Probably the most recognisable style of english gothic architecture is the perpendicular style. It known for its fan vaults and very low pointed arches. It emphesises the vertical line waay more than other forks of gothic architecture as far as my observations go. The towers are usually very boxy unlike the tiered towers on, say st Vitus cathedral or the steeples of Notre Dame de Paris. other characteristic features are 1. tall towers sitting right atop the crossing (which has presented the maintainers with huge challenges. Many even collapsed. 2. quite short clerestory windows consistently throught the style periods unlike french gothic (including Czech, German gothic as they are all technically french) which tried maximising the clerestory at the cost of not having a proper triforium. 3. double transept. There is no non english cathedral with more than one transept as far as I rember 4. plain flying butresses when compared to their french counterparts. 5. and probably the most prominent: the french gothic style, especially styles like Flamboyant gothic are conciderably more ornate. in that time period the builders were trying to find every way of maximising detail and contrast. Free tracery layered over blind tracery is a supreme example of that. Another thing already meantioned by Obsidian History is the grandeur. Gothic cathedrals were not only beacons of religeous significance, but also a tokens of power and supremacy. It was a sort of an unofficial war. Eccept its warriors were armed with chiesels and hammers. French gothic tried achieving the tallest choir possible. whilst the lincoln cathedral vault height is "only" 24 metres, the tallest gothic choir is 48 metres, and yes, it is holding up by hopes and prayers (and a lot of steel added as a precaution). Hope this helps

The key differences between French and English Gothic cathedrals are 1) French cathedral naves are generally taller 2) English cathedrals make up for it by being long! England has several of the longest gothic cathedrals in the world, Winchester being the longest. 3) A particular feature of English Gothic is the tall central tower covering the full width of the main aisle of the nave., open to the interior which fills the nave/transept crossing with light. Central towers of similar design are very rare in France. 4) French Gothic generally have taller, thinner west fronts. 5) English Cathedral generally have a more defined "cross" layout, with larger, more defined transepts.

🎉 Nice video. I hope in the future, my Small Travel Channel can grow yours. Maby you have some tips? 😢

That Church in St Petersburg is Eastern Orthodox and is not a Gothic Cathedral!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sevilla is the better
