There are over 4,500 religious establishments in the world, so you’d expect them to be just as popular. In fact, some can have millions of followers, while others have none at all. If you’re interested in learning more about the most popular churches in the world, we’ve compiled a list of the top 10 largest churches in the world.

WESTMINSTER ABBEY, London, UK.

If you’re looking for a church to worship at, you may be surprised to find that there are more than just a handful of religious venues in the UK. One of the most popular is located in London, at a beautiful building called Westminster Abbey. It’s a place where royalty and nobility have been laid to rest, and it’s where you’ll find the tombs of many famous historical figures.

The world’s most famous church, Westminster Abbey is just a short walk from the Houses of Parliament, the Houses of Parliament, the Churchill War Rooms, the British Museum, and the National Gallery. Built on the site of the Abbey of St Peter and St Paul, the current church was founded in 1065. The abbey was destroyed by fire in 1512 but was rebuilt. In 1834, the site became a cathedral, and the current Gothic-style building was consecrated in 1876.

ST PAUL’S CATHEDRAL, London, UK. 

St Paul’s Cathedral is the mother church of the Anglican Communion, located on the north side of The City of London, where Paul’s body was entombed after his death. The present building dates from the mid-18th century and it was designed by Sir Christopher Wren. You may recognize St Paul’s as the location of the Millennium Dome, the 88-acre structure that held the world’s biggest concert in 2000.

The Anglican church is one of the world’s largest Christian denominations, with over 80,000 members, served by more than 1800 parishes across the UK and Ireland. Famed for its architecture, including the beautiful Dome, it is also renowned for its worship, based on the Book of Common Prayer, and the liturgy.

CHURCH OF THE HOLY SEPULCHRE, Jerusalem, Israel.

The Church of the Holy Sepulchre is the holiest site in Christianity, where Jesus was buried and resurrected after three days, as God commanded.

It is believed to be built on the site where Jesus was crucified.
