The beauty of vaulted ceilings can be seen in various architectural wonders around the world.

Traveling to Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, one cannot miss the Catalan Gothic church of Santa Maria del Mar with its awe-inspiring vaulted ceiling. Similarly captivating is the interior of St Marks Basilica in Venice, Italy; its soaring ceilings leave visitors in awe.
