The exterior of Saint Peter in Chains Catholic Cathedral in Cincinnati, Ohio, is stunning. The building features 12 Corinthian columns supporting the portico and a 220 foot limestone spire. The inside of this 1845 church is more impressive. Again, the Greek columns are a main architectural theme along with murals and a huge bronze door. Most impressive, however, is the gold mosaic behind the altar. It is 35 x 40 feet made from thousands of glass and stone pieces. On the lower left side is a depiction of St. Peter being released from prison chains, a reflection of the church’s name.
