Epicenter of New York Catholicism |
460 Madison Avenue Between 50th and 51st streets New York, NY 10022 +1 212 572 3060 / +1 212 753 2261 http://archny.org/about-us/st-patricks-cathedral/ |
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. Review © 2009, Wcities |
