We're so glad that family suggested we visit this place! Being new to Savannah - there's still so much to see and do! We're glad that we've experienced this wonderful place. The cathedral is marked with so much history that you must take a camera to take it all in! Be ready to have your breath taken away of the... more

I had the honor and pleasure of visiting this cathedral this weekend - I am not Catholic, but once I walked in the door, my breath was taken away! This is a magnificent cathedral - soaring ceiling, beautiful murals, stunning stained glass. I have not seen a cathedral like this before in the US. I highly recommend it - what... more

This church is one of the highest structures in the historic district. The spires are some of the tallest structures in Savannah. You can see them throughout the historic district. (They actually make a good landmark if you are walking around the area). Once you get inside, the inside is beautiful. There is also a very beautiful statue of Mother... more

This place is absolutely gorgeous! We had a private tour guide who is Catholic (Explore Savannah) walk us through the Cathedral and tell us some of the history of this amazing place.

The cathedral is a beautiful stop on a walk through Savannah. They played patriotic music on the 4th on the pipe organ and it was one of the highlights of our stay. more

This was one of our favorite stops while we were in Savannah. It only takes about an hour or so, but worth the trip. Very Beautiful! My only complaint is there are no official tours. I would have really enjoyed finding out more information on all the different areas. There is no fee, but you can purchase items as donations. more
