The Cathedral of Saint Paul is a Roman Catholic cathedral in
the city of St. Paul. Along with the Basilica of St. Mary in
Minneapolis, it is the Co-Cathedral of the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and
Minneapolis. Construction began in 1906 and opened in 1915. A distinctive cathedral in the United
States, it sits on Cathedral Hill overlooking downtown St. Paul and features a
distinctive copper-clad dome. It is the third largest completed church in the
United States, and the fourth tallest.
Each year, the Cathedral of Saint Paul welcomes over 200,000
guests and visitors. The Cathedral is recognized as a historical landmark, one
of the most prominent buildings in the city and as a center of spiritual
worship. Guided tours are available to the public Monday through Friday at 1
p.m. If you can’t make it over there to see it yourself, you can take a virtual tour.
