Chapel on the rock gets my vote for Colorado but the Basillica is beautiful as well.

Wonder if the talent at healing place is still top notch like the 2000’s

Didn't see Ohio in the thread, but I nominate this one:
Our Lady, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary Cathedral, Toledo
This is probably the one that took me most by surprise because you don't really expect something like this in Toledo, OH

I like the old church inside the new church look.

Have friends that attend this church. The craftsmanship is impeccable.

I don't think I ever knew you went to Cathedral. Been in that church over a hundred times. Did RCIA there with Father Dave.

I am a church architecture aficionado.
In the past year I’ve visited several notables including:
St Magnus Cathedral, Kirkwall, Orkney
Elgin Cathedral, Scotland
Fountains Abbey, Ripon, England
National Cathedral, Washington DC

I love those random black churches in middle of nowhere in the delta that you think are abandoned but will be packed out every Sunday
Unfortunately, these are slowly dying out with the oldest, most religious generation. They hung on for quite awhile, but eventually, as everybody moved off the farms, the handful of families that still lived on the farms would rotate churches on each farm. Now, over time they have funneled resources into the ones with the most seating and abandoned the others. We have one on our farm that was just abandoned in the last 5 or 6 years.

Family church growing up.... About the only thing I liked about New England, the catholic churches are/were spectacular. many parishes no longer exist and/or have been merged with others.

There are more beautiful and majestic churches to be found for sure, but there are only a few churches or abbeys that I have visited and been left with an impression of being in the presence of serenity and humanity's reach for something beyond this existence. I have been to many but certainly not all of the great Cathedrals of Europe, and many in the US, but looking at something beautiful and feeling a presence beyond the structure is something different.
Grace Church in St. Francisville. Not just the structure, but the grounds. So perfectly placed in serenity.

The Cistercians contributed greatly to beauty during their expansion time. Fountains is still stunning as are most of theirs still be found in ruins. Something haunting about them all.

Need a fact check on San Fernando... original portion built in the 1700s, oldest continously functioning church in Texas. It says 1868... maybe in its current form. Was well over a century old at that point.
Santa Anna flew his blood red flag from atop San Fernando to announce to the defenders of the Alamo that no quarter would be given.
