St. Louis Cathedral is absolutely beautiful inside and out. This was by far my favorite attraction I got to visit while in the French Quarter. The outside makes for a great photo op (I actually have a framed b&w of it in my bedroom), but the inside is a must see as well! more

It's a gorgeous cathedral and one of the many free things to do in New Orleans. Stroll through, take pictures, and gaze at the artwork and stained glass. A very unique landmark. more

This historical church is beautiful. They let you tour the church for free and even allow pictures when mass isn't taking place. A must see. Don't forget to look at the ceilings. more

Eveyone has seen the front from Jackson Square. The back of the Cathedral has it's own message. more

The area is beautiful and just amazing. It's just as beautiful on the inside as it is on the outside. We went to mass there on Sunday and it was packed. We watched two different weddings take place on Friday night from a local bar and the people and the atmosphere is incredible. Seven white limousines showed up and then... more

Wow! What else can be said about the outside & inside of this beautiful church. The outside is the perfect addition to Jackson Square and listening to the bell tolling the hours and halfhours while strolling the square adds a certain old world charm to an already charming "old-worldy" environment of the French Quarter. The ornateness of the cathedral's interior... more

I lived in New Orleans all my life until 7 years ago. Unfortunately it took me moving away to appreciate all the beautiful and historical places the Big Easy has to offer. The St. Louis Cathedral is undoubtebly one of those attractions you shouldn't miss. The catherdral is prestegiously located just behind Jackson Square, in the heart of the French... more

Here in the heart of the French Quarter, amidst bars, restaurants, shops and clubs sits the oldest cathedral in the U.S. The focal point of Jackson Square, this church is an important landmark in the very Catholic city of New Orleans. While I've never found the interior of the catherdral to be very appealling, the triple steeple exterior makes the... more

My husband and I visited New Orleans in October, while on a "Music Cities "Tour arriving from California on Saturday afternoon.We attended Mass on the following Sunday along with some of our traveling companions. The Cathedral is so beautiful--and has a lot of History. I felt overwhelmed and so moved the moment we entered. Since a lot of the churches... more
