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 |

Emerald jewel of Capitol Hill |
8th Ave & Franklin Street Denver, CO 80206 United States |
This park, which once served as a Denver cemetery in the late 1800s, features a west facing marble acropolis that offers incredible mountain views and opens onto the beautiful grounds of the park, which includes the Denver Botanic Gardens. A large open lawn comprises the mid-section of this neighborhood park, making it ideal for lounging, walking the dog, or soaking up one of Colorado's 300 days of sun. Runners jam the footpaths that circle the park. A small playground for kids hides in a grove of trees. Review © 2007, Wcities |
