Nation's oldest Catholic cathedral |
408 North Charles Street Baltimore, MD 21201 United States +1 410 727 3565 http://www.baltimorebasilica.org |
Considered one of the finest examples of Neoclassical architecture, the Baltimore Basilica is the nation's oldest Catholic cathedral. Begun in 1806 and completed in 1821, the cathedral was designed by Benjamin Latrobe, architect of the U.S. Capitol. With its six Corinthian columns fronting a grand portico, the cathedral resembles a Greek temple. Nine stained-glass windows fill the massive interior with light. Visitors in recent years have included Pope John Paul II and the late Mother Theresa. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Celebrating Baltimore's Jewish heritage |
15 Lloyd Street Baltimore, MD 21202 United States +1 410 732 6400 http://www.jhsm.org |
This lovely museum is dedicated to preserving Maryland's Jewish heritage. Rotating exhibits provide a fascinating look at important historical events, as well as glimpses of day-to-day Jewish life. Past exhibits have focused on everything from the synagogues that grace Baltimore's neighborhoods to the 'Tchotchkes' that decorate ordinary Jewish homes. The museum also offers genealogical consultations by appointment, a well-stocked book store, and a museum shop. Admission: USD8. Review © 2007, Wcities |
