The Naval Cathedral of St. Nicholas is a seriously beautiful church. Very Byzantine. Also- since there were so many pics of it- to any wondering- that is Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John surrounding the dome with the Pantocrator.

I just realized that for all my love of English gothic, as evidenced many, many times throughout this thread, I've never posted any pictures of Westminster Abbey. I'll make up for it now.
