This has to be the most beautiful building I've ever been in. more on Yahoo! Travel

There were still people praying so it felt a bit like we were intruding with walking around so if you have kids that can't keep still and /or quiet it might be best to skip this. more on TripAdvisor

Well maintained homes in period style. more on Yahoo! Travel

Walk in and a guided tour is provided free, although donations are accepted. more on TripAdvisor

It is best to view the mosaics on a tour or at a time when a worship service is not in progress. more on Yahoo! Travel

Yes, more than any single place in the world! So that means it is a "must see" if you are visiting St. Louis. Don't miss it!

The exterior structure is Romanesque. The interior decoration is Greek and Romanesque.
