Tony TJune 21, 2017Cathedral Basilica of St Louis King of France is the most iconic landmark of all the French Quarter! The city's center of worship for over 280 years, it remains the oldest active Cathedral in the U.S.

NatalieSeptember 29, 2015Beautiful no matter what time of the day you stop by. Walk around Jackson Square and look at all of the art people are selling, they have so much talent.
- Pandora KatSeptember 13, 2015Mass is currently 12.05 PM daily. Hours do vary depending on the time of year, check website. Magnificent in so many ways. Mass here is always a joy to celebrate w/local & visiting parishioners.
- Nicole CheramieNovember 27, 2018This famous and iconic location in the city represents the oldest cathedral in the US. Stop by on your way through the French Quarter and get your picture taken with a section of steps across the way.

Erik RowleyFebruary 1, 2015Come here and ask God to forgive you for all the things you did on Bourbon Street the night before...no communion wine is not hair of the dog.
Brody HoranAugust 25, 2014Don't forget to donate or light a candle for someone you know who needs it. This cathedral is beautiful! Such great positive energy.
Brittany ConnerJanuary 29, 2019Stunningly beautiful. Perfect spot for photographers, both pro & amateur alike.
Even if you're not the religious type, please stop in. The artwork and architecture are brilliant in their own right
Sean RourkeOctober 6, 2014Beautiful old church. They're sort of weary of tourists, though. You'll get dirty looks from churchgoers and the clergy there for taking photos.
Rosie WhitakerMarch 18, 2013Try to get here right at dusk, so that as the sun turns off, the windows turn on. Breathtaking.
Priya TungrusAugust 28, 2015Really pretty. At night the cathedral is lit up and the shadow of Christ is huge on the back of it.
HISTORYApril 5, 2010Since 1727 New Orleanians have worshipped in churches on this site. A fire in 1788 burned the church to the ground. Construction of a new church began in early 1789, & was completed in December 1794.
Brandon SmithMay 5, 2012It's free to visit and the inside is beautifully painted and lit up with colors from the stained glass windows.
Vincent ChesneyFebruary 19, 2023America’s oldest cathedral in the heart of the Crescent City’s Jackson Square
Theo HollerbachAugust 21, 2016Art on ceiling very impressive. Chanting monk soundtrack I am not sure about
Gentlemen: It's not that cold in here, so please remove your hats.
