This is a wonderful site to see in NOLA. I busted this cathedral in the evening, but I didn't actually go inside but it looked great outside my only complaint in the smelly horse and carriage rides outside the gates

Brought a tour group the way of St. Louis Cathedral. Inside we were treated to a brief history of the church while sitting in the pews. There are more beautiful churches, but this one has a sense of importance owing most probably to its location in the French Quarter.

You feel the history before you even walk through the doors. It is a beautiful cathedral. The whole square is a must see.

A trip to French Quarter must include a visit to St Louis Cathedral. Don't miss the visit.

I have been in some of the most beautiful cathedrals around the world. This Cathedral ranks among them. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the holy spirit. It was amazing.
