St. Patrick's Cathedral
The largest Neo-Gothic Catholic cathedral in the United States, its white marble twin spires contrasting sharply with the skyscrapers of Fifth Avenue.
St. Patrick's Cathedral was completed in 1879. It is the seat of the Archdiocese of New York and one of the largest Neo-Gothic Catholic cathedrals in the United States. Its two spires, each about 100 meters tall, stand out across from Rockefeller Center. Inside you'll find exquisite rose windows, the Lady Chapel, and a massive pipe organ. Entry is free. You can explore on your own or buy an audio guide. During Mass, please stay quiet and do not use flash photography. The E/M subway to 5 Av/53 St is a 3-minute walk away.
