Another interesting attraction of Sedona is the beautiful Chapel of the Holy Cross. It is a Roman Catholic chapel built into Sedona's mesas. In 2007, Arizonans voted the Chapel to be one of the Seven Man-Made Wonders of Arizona. "The first conception came to Marguerite Bruswig Staude in 1932 in New York City while observing the newly constructed Empire State Building. When viewed from a certain angle a cross seemed to impose itself through the very core of the structure." "She traveled throughout Europe looking for the ideal location. She returned to the United States and while her and her husband Tony traveled through Sedona, she was struck by the beauty of the area and decided that this chapel should be built here."
