Reykjavik's Hallgrímskirkja church, built in honour of 17th century priest and poet Hallgrímur Pétursson has made it to a list of top places for reflection around the world, which also includes Temple church in London, the convent of St Marco in Florence and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem.
"The church’s bare interior is stark yet dynamic, with its vaulted ceiling casting delicate scalloped shadows across creamy walls. Its greatest piece of visual art is its organ, which presides like a Last Judgment," writes The Guardian.
It took 41 years to build the church, which is the tallest church in Iceland and also one of the country's tallest buildings. It is situated on the hill of Skólavörðuholt in central Reykjavik and remains one of the city's most photographed landmarks.
