4 South Façade of York Minster in York, England

The York Minster’s southern façade was constructed in 1250 with an Early English Gothic design. The magnesian limestone glistens in the sunshine. The elegant centerpiece is the Rose Window, designed and created in 1515 by Robert Petty to celebrate the union of Lancaster and York. The wheel contains about 7,000 pieces of stained glass. Ravaged by fire in 1984, craftsmen toiled three years to reassemble 40,000 shards back into this beautiful work of religious art.
