I love that it's a small-scale replica of St Peter's Basilica in Rome - that's great! More

The facade of this cathedral with the line of sculptures in the top, the layout of the huge interior, the stunning baldachin, everything is a beautiful copy of St.Peter’s Basilica. It definitely worth a visit. More

Built along the same lines as St. Peter's in the Vatican City, the exterior is more impressive than the interior. More

This cathedral is about half the size of St. Peters in Rome and was right next to our hotel. It was more modern that its European counterparts, but was beautiful inside and out. More

Be warned that this place has no public restroom, and very little in the way of facilities for any visitors, even parishioners (there's no drinking fountain, for instance).

More than well worth the visit, this is the only cathedral in the world made entirely in wood. The acoustic in the cathedral is so impressive, the late tenor Pavarotti held a concert here.
