The Most Beautiful Place

In order to see the most beautiful place for me your going to have to visit Europe. Don't get me wrong, I love my country but I also love history, and if you want to visit a place steeped in both history and culture your going to have to travel to Europe. Now when in Europe some of the most amazing places to visit are the old Gothic cathedrals. The architecture and art within combined with the knowledge of the sheer manpower and force of will that went into building these structures in the name of God is simply awe inspiring. When confronted with a building that seems to scrape the sky above you that was constructed in the name of religion by thousands and then can walk up and see the most minute of details carved on the facade you really begin to see how major a role religion played in these peoples lives. The most famous of these would most likely be Notre Dame in Paris. So my perfect place would be a trip to Paris in the winter, sitting in that historic city with the clash of modern and ancient architecture wit ha gentle snow falling as a backdrop. That would be amazing.
