Catholic Church is one of the most prestigious structures ever built.  It has different basics, tradition and rules to follow.  Only few architects are lucky enough to have opportunities to design churches these days.  But when it comes to designing a church the objective doesn’t end in creating a beautiful and magnificent design instead the main purpose is how to affect the human person deeply, the way he acts, feels and the way he is.  The church of every country is grand whether small or large that represents the house of God that looks to the past, serves the present and informs the future.  It’s a sacred place to be used for worshiping God that welcomes everyone.

The focal point of the interior design of the church is always the altar shrine.  Every part of the church has a symbolic meaning and purpose, although they may have some different types of architectural styles such as Gothic, Victorian, traditional and modern, particular foundations and elements are always present in all Catholic churches.  The church’s altar shrine is the center of the sanctuary that’s usually built with natural stone, marble or tiles.  In entering a church, this is the first thing that will get your eyes attention because it’s in the front center of the church probably the most noticeable and the grandest.
