Founded by Julius Caesar, this plain brick building in the Roman Forum was the meeting place of the Senate.

Begun in 1899, the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Newark is the fifth-largest cathedral in North America. It was completed in 1954 in a French Gothic style.

Situated on top of the rock above the Grotto and behind the Basilica of the Rosary, this was the first basilica to be built in Lourdes. It was constructed between 1866 and 1872.
