Wikipedia entry

“The Cathedral Basilica of Saint Louis on Lindell Boulevard in the Central West End is one of the most visually staggering interiors in the United States and one of the most undervisited. The building's 1914 Romanesque-Byzantine exterior is imposing; the interior contains the largest mosaic collection in the world — 41.5 million pieces of glass tesserae covering the ceilings and domes in a program completed over 76 years. The central dome alone spans 83 feet in diameter.”
