The construction of the cathedral began with the choir in the 13th century, and continued in particular in the 15th century (the works were interrupted for the first time in 1327 for lack of resources). Work resumed in the 19th century, particularly in the nave and narthex.

Lincoln Cathedral punctuates the city skyline and can be seen for many miles. Once the tallest building in the world (before the central spire fell down in 1548), it is still impressive in scale and stature, with its iconic three towers, the highly carved stone west front with its Norman arches and , the largest east window of its type in Europe and a ten sided Chapter House with impressive flying buttresses.

The extensive ruins visible today are dominated by the 12th century priory church, which probably stands on the same spot as its Anglo Saxon predecessor. The associated monastic buildings were modified in the later Middle Ages in response to the changing needs and numbers of the monks.

The monastery of Lindow was founded around 1230 as a Cistercian convent. At the beginning of the 16th century it was one of the richest monasteries of the March, so much so that the Reformation movement did not interrupt its operation, but turned it into a Protestant convent for ladies. During the Thirty Years' War (1638), the monastery complex was destroyed by imperial troops. The building of the former monastery school dating from the 15th century is still well preserved, as is the former wash-house. The former monastery is surrounded by a park, which is now used as a multi-religious project where plants have been chosen as a connecting element between religions.

Linköping Cathedral was most probably built of stone in the 12th century, replacing an 11th-century wooden church. However, as early as the following century, its reconstruction in the Gothic style was undertaken and lasted until the end of the 16th century.

The cathedral of Lipari is situated on a rock about 60 m high by the sea. It is dedicated to the patron saint of the Lipari Islands and the city of Lipari, the apostle Bartholomew.

The old cathedral was destroyed in 1544 during a raid by Turkish pirates led by Khair ad-Din Barbarossa. The present building, in Baroque style, was erected in 1654. The bell tower and the facade date from the second half of the 18th century, the upper part of the facade was rebuilt in 1861 after a collapse.
