 A golden dome |
4610 East Alameda Avenue Denver, CO 80246 United States +1 303 388 9314 http://www.assumptioncathedral... |
For over 90 years, this cathedral has been a spiritual haven for the local Greek community. The church's original goal was to simply offer immigrants a place to perpetuate religion, but today it is a center of cultural activity. The large golden dome sitting atop the church makes this one of the most recognizable buildings in the city. The interior features a large icon of the "Christ Almighty" and 14 icons of the "Great Feasts of Christ." Tours are available between 1p and 5p daily, or by appointment. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Runners jam the footpaths that circle the park. A small playground for kids hides in a grove of trees. Review © 2007, Wcities |
