Description
The United States Air Force Academy Cadet Chapel, near Colorado Springs, is an imposing modern chapel built in 1962. It consists primarily of seventeen giant spires in a row, with thin mosaics of stained-glass window tiles filling the gaps. Apart from the large window at the far end, all of the light inside the building comes from these strips of glass, causing it to glow inside with amazing colours when the sun shines. Controversial when built, the chapel was named a National Historic Landmark in 2004.
