Every time I go to NOLA, I have to go visit the cathedral. It is breathtaking. And while I am not Catholic, I have attended mass there once as well. I highly recommend a visit.

On our first visit to New Orleans, we admired the structure of St. Louis Cathedral, but it never occurred to us to step inside. This time, we did both. The cathedral is architecturally beautiful.

If you need a quiet place to visit while in New Orleans this would be the place. Very serene. Beautiful inside as well. You can walk, pray, light candles, etc. A must do if in New Orleans.

Even though I am not Catholic I enjoyed visiting the St. Louis Cathedral. The art work and statues are very colorful and masterfully done.
