The Church and convent of the Society of Jesus in Antigua Guatemala is a religious complex that was built between 1690 and 1698. It was built on a block that is only 325 yards away from the Cathedral of Saint James on a lot that once belonged to the family of famous chronicler Bernal Díaz del Castillo and had three monastery wings and a church. There were only a maximum of 13 Jesuit priest at any given time in the building, but they also hosted Jesuit brothers and secular students. In the building was the San Lucas School of the Society of Jesus, until the Jesuits were expelled from the Spanish colonies in 1767.

The Ephraim Moravian Church, located in the heart of Ephraim, Wisconsin, dates back to the mid-19th century and reflects the town’s deep Moravian heritage. Founded in 1853 by Norwegian settlers under the leadership of Reverend Andreas Iverson, the congregation built this white clapboard church overlooking Eagle Harbor as both a house of worship and a symbol of unity for the early Door County community. The building’s steeple, traditional in form yet understated in design, continues to define Ephraim’s skyline, linking the village’s modern charm with its Scandinavian and religious roots.

The Basílica Catedral Nuestra Señora de la Altagracia in Higüey, Dominican Republic, is one of the most significant Catholic pilgrimage destinations in the Caribbean. Completed in 1971, the church was designed by French architects André-Jacques Dunoyer de Segonzac and Pierre Dupré, who created a unique modernist interpretation of a basilica with towering concrete arches and geometric symmetry meant to evoke hands raised in prayer. The blue metal-framed windows contrast against the stark reinforced concrete, emphasizing both spiritual and structural purpose. The basilica was commissioned to honor the Virgin of Altagracia, protector of the Dominican people, and it officially received the status of Minor Basilica from Pope Paul VI. Known for its 80-meter bell tower and monumental entry arch, it attracts thousands of worshippers every January 21 during the Feast of Altagracia.
