You can see beauty everywhere and our beauty standards vary a lot depending on many things, but there’s no denying that these three buildings are some of the most beautiful in the world. They’re an amazing sight to see, and if you can you should totally plan to visit them in person because it’s absolutely worth it.

St Basil’s Cathedral, Moscow, Russia

St Basil’s Cathedral stands on the famous Red Square in its colorful glory. Its iconic domes can be seen from all around the city. The church was commissioned in the 16th century by Ivan the Terrible and it’s a commemoration of the capture of the Tatar stronghold of Kazan.

Osaka Castle, Kyobashi, Japan

The Osaka Castle is one of the most famous landmarks in Japan, consisting of 13 structures. It has an incredible history and it had a big impact on the unification of Japan during the 16th century.

La Sagrada Familia, Barcelona, Spain

Iconic architect Antoni Gaudi died before he could finish this masterpiece. He was walking to it as he would every evening when a tram hit him, leaving Barcelona’s most famous building unfinished. Its completion date has been moved several times and it won’t be finished for years from now.
