About this listen

For almost two millennia, cathedrals have been among the most imposing, astonishing, and inspiring buildings in Europe. Regardless of faith, their scale and architectural daring has never ceased to spark wonder. This guide traces the development of the cathedral from its earliest beginnings as a Bishop’s house, through the Romanesque and Gothic periods, and up to the most extravagant contemporary designs around the world. In doing so, it sheds light on social, religious, and architectural history, as well as bringing the story of these extraordinary buildings to life.

Good survey of Cathedrals

Great reading, tight writing and huge scope on the subject. Very much a high level overview but still informative. Takes a sociological perhaps reformation point of view, historical but not too cynical and affirms the lasting relevance for cathedral building.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
