Cathedral Basilica of Saint Louis
The Cathedral Basilica of Saint Louis, usually known as the Saint Louis Cathedral, is a Roman Catholic cathedral in St. Louis, Missouri's Central West End area. It is the mother church of the Archdiocese of St. Louis and the seat of its archbishop, who is currently Mitchell T. Rozanski. It was completed in 1914. Saint Louis is the patron saint of the church, which Pope John Paul II declared a basilica in 1997.
The cathedral was constructed to replace the previous Saint Louis Cathedral, which is now the Basilica of Saint Louis, King of France, on the Mississippi River. Despite the fact that construction began on May 1, 1907, the cathedral's consecration took place only a year later.
Visitors to the majestic Cathedral Basilica of Saint Louis are greeted by one of the world's largest mosaics, which is part of a 41.5-million-piece glass show constructed in part by Tiffany Studios. Before going to the basilica's crypts and museum to learn more about its history and antiquities, walk beneath the basilica's two domes and many arches to admire the 83,000 square foot spread of beautiful mosaic artwork. Outside of Mass, guided tours are provided on weekdays.
