Building the great Cathedrals

Pillars of the Earth is a good book that is centered around the building of a cathedral. If you found the topic interesting it may be worth a read.

I'll have to check that out. My wife and I went to Italy for our honeymoon last year and visited dozens of basilicas and cathedrals, not to mention buildings like the pantheon that are much older. The craftsmanship and engineering was incredible, with fitments and angles cut perfectly.

The doors on the pantheon are a marvel in and of themselves.
