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

I have been to many cathedrals throughout Europe as I love cathedrals and I have to say, this one is just as beautiful as any I have seen. We went on Sunday after services and were so glad we finally made it there after putting it off all weekend. The architecture is stunning and the ambiance so calming. At the... more

This is a must see on a trip to Savannah. Unfortunately I didn't get the chance to go inside but just the view from the outside was gorgeous. In fact we sat across the street for awhile at the coffee shop just to let the view soak in. more

Be sure to have your camera for this visit. Absolutely amazing details went into the architecture and design of this building. Best to visit this place when it's sunny outside so you can get the sun beams through the stained glass windows. more

This is a must and is not well publicized. Once you walk in and see the stained glass windows, the painted frescos and the architecture you will left in awe. I wandered the church several times through my week long stay. The spires guide you to the church below. Take a look into the baptismal fountain. If you're lucky enough... more

Up front, I am not a cathedral person normally, while my wife has been around Europe gazing at European ones, so we have 2 viewpoints mostly. However, we were both amazed at this cathedral! The beauty of the interior is unmatched in my experience, and my wife said it was as beautiful as any she had seen in Europe. Just... more

My husband and I shared our 27th Anniversary in Savannah. It is the most spectacular city we've ever visited. The beauty and Southern charm is like no other! And this church will leave an impression like no other! I was truly amazed by the beauty inside and out! It definitely looks like something you would see in another country. I... more
