St. Patrick's Cathedral

St. Patrick's Cathedral is a neo-Gothic church which functions as the Catholic Cathedral in the US. It's the see of the Archbishop of the Roman Catholic Church and is found at the famous Rockefeller Center, on 5th Avenue. James Renwick Jr. designed it, and the foundation stone was laid in August 1858. The interior is gorgeous, especially the old Lady Chapel, which was renovated in 1927. The great organ was installed in 1931. In 1976 it was declared a National Historic Landmark.

The old St. Patrick's Cathedral, completed in 1815, served the spiritual needs of the Irish Catholic population ve lived here before the area was slowly transformed into Little Italy. Built in the Gothic style, it is overshadowed by the newer, much larger cathedral of the same name built in Midtown Manhattan in 1879. It's nothing special, but the intimate interior gives you a few minutes of rest from the frenzy of the city. The grounds of the cemetery are worth a fortune.

Whether your an atheist or a strongly catholic person, this place is beautiful in all meanings. The structure of this place is stunning, and inside, you can find a lot of spots to buy candles to leave your prayer.

Where you can stay for a while to admire it.
