First built in the late 17th century, Phu Cam Cathedral is considered the largest and oldest church in the Former Imperial Capital.
Phu Cam Cathedral is a richly expressive structure, standing tall like an expanded Holy Bible, with a construction layout resembling a Cross: the head of the Cross facing south, the base of the Cross facing north, and near the head, two wings extending on either side of the Cross. When viewed as a whole, the cathedral resembles a dragon ascending straight into the sky—powerful yet graceful, artistically and spiritually profound.
This Cathedral is a great destination for Catholic pilgrims and save their beautiful photos
