14.  The Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família, Spain

Similar to the above-mentioned Château de Chambord, this Roman Catholic church in Barcelona is also technically incomplete.  Construction on this place of worship started in 1882.  Financial limitations limited the progress of the work.  The infamous Spanish Civil War brought a stop to the construction.  Although the work is still not officially complete as this goes to press, the structure is still quite beautiful.

13.  Sacré-Cœur, France

In English, the name of this structure is “sacred heart.”  Thus the building is essentially the “Sacred Heart of Paris.”  It is a minor basilica and Roman Catholic church and was built in memory of the socialist Paris Commune of 1871 and the losses suffered during the Franco-Prussian War.  It is located at Paris’ highest point on the Montmartre butte.  From here you can enjoy a stunning view of the city.
