St Patrick’s Cathedral is one of New York’s finest buildings and is a must-do on any NYC itinerary. Located on Fifth Avenue, across from Rockefeller Center, it is the largest Gothic Roman Catholic cathedral in the US.
The cathedral is seat to the Archbishop of New York and it welcomes over 5 million visitors every year, visitors and worshippers alike. With its 330-foot spires, it is a spectacular sight to see, and inside will not leave you feeling disappointed! Inside boasts vibrant stained glass windows, many artifacts, a seating capacity of 2,400, and a giant organ with 7,855 pipes!
Have fun getting lost among the 21 altars with 19 bells - each named after a different saint.
Named after the patron saint of Ireland in response to increasing numbers of Irish immigrants in the city, the cathedral holds a rich history and an exciting future. The site has even been used in films such as The Godfather: Part 3. Don’t miss out.
