Putting aside your religious affiliation or non-affiliation, a visit to this Cathedral is an LA must see. The space, the decor, the colors selected, the hum of the people in the space, all contribute to a spiritual experience.

From the outside it looks like an office building and I have a hard time in the interior to associate it with beautiful cathedrals of the world

Very beautiful grounds.....Extremely Modern. A vey beautiful gift shop on the grounds and if you are Catholic a very beautiful place to worship. ( Parking in structure very expensive)
