St. Patrick's Cathedral

460 Madison Avenue, Between 50th and 51st streets, New York City, NY
Tel: (212) 753-2261 • Web: Visit this site »
 

This massive cathedral, situated across from Rockefeller Center on Fifth Avenue, is the largest Catholic cathedral in the United States. With its two soaring 330-foot spires, it is also one of the city's most spectacular architectural sights. Construction on the neo-gothic structure was begun in 1850 and completed in 1878. Inside, it boasts a seating capacity of 2,500, numerous altars and stained glass windows, and a giant organ with over 7,300 pipes. Services are held throughout the day, and many New Yorkers stop in for a moment of serenity in their otherwise hectic days.

  • A total experience.
  • Could not stay longer.

“Absolutely an amazing place. The peace and reverence you feel when you enter is truly palpable. Be respectful, and look the entire place over. People will be sitting quietly and if you just follow the implied rules of behavior you can walk and take in the wonderful sights. Ask the docents questions, they can be very helpful for people that want to know more. It's amazing. Go if you can.”
