A church is a religious place where the Christian people go for worships. It is different from chapel as a church is a big building where the gathering of Christian people happens. Normally there will be a cross on the top of the church which differentiates it from the other religious buildings. The Dome suggests drawing attention from the heaven. Circle represents eternity, Star or an octagon represent bringing of light to the world. These pictures are of churches from Goa and the captured images show the styling done on the outer part of the church enhancing the beauty of it. It shows how the architects have made use of the significant shapes to design the exterior.
