We love to visit big, beautiful churches. While in Asheville recently, we toured the Basilica of St. Lawrence. Completed in 1909, it has the largest freestanding elliptical dome in the country. The dome measures 58' by 82'. The main altar was very beautiful, along with the chapels on either side of the main altar. The stained glass windows were made in Munich, Germany, and they were impressive.

Wow, that's an amazing picture! Did you take it?
Yes. The great thing about digital cameras is that you can snap 30 shots, and pick the one you want! Couldn't get a decent shot of the church's dome, though.
