This dramatic cathedral, completed in 1909, was built to mimic Romanesque style on the outside and Gothic style on the inside. The structure features gargoyles, vibrant murals, finely executed wood carvings, and magnificent stained-glass windows. Chapels, shrines, bells, screens, and other decorative and functional elements add to the cathedral's majesty.
This Catholic sandstone cathedral is notable for its combination of Romanesque exterior and Gothic interior. The restored interior of the cathedral features vibrantly painted murals and ornate carved-wood altarpieces.
