The Basilica of St. Francis is one of the gems of American Church Architecture. I have lived all over he U.S. and Europe and I suggest that this Cathedral compares favorably with the Basicilica of the Assumption in Baltimore and Holy Name of Jesus in New Orleans as well as St. Louis Cathedral in N.O.
All of the elements, stained glass, altar ...

I loved the Cathedral. Just to know that we attended Mass in a church that is almost 400 yrs old--is really something. I would go back in a heart-beat. Santa Fe is a great city with alot of culture and art. The city is very inspiring.You actually feel like you've taken part in the history of this country when you visit.

The sculptures outside of the cathedral are wonderful. If you get a chance walk around the cathedral to the side and visit the shrines. As for the inside, that was an odd experience for me. I even researched when I arrived home to see if I was the only person to have such a profound reaction. And, well, I am. The moment I stepped inside the ...

Of all the 3 churches I visited during my trip, this church visit left the most negative experience. I was fortunate enough to come into the church by a side door before the greeter cut my photo taking short, " no flash". One cannot take photo pictures with your camera flash on. Then why in the world become a designated Basilica or ...

I loved the food! Oh man, I had heard about the southwest cooking but this was incredible. On the Plaza are more than 3 or 4 place that look like little dinners but the food served was far better than alot of linen napkin, crystal glass, overpriced places in NYC.

Lovely, recently renovated cathedral. It was a joy to see it and enjoy a service. The Sunday morning bells rang out throughout the city calling us to come and worship... so we did! Would do it again.

The Cathedral dominates the end of one street. We happened to be there on St. Francis Feast Day and they had a Mass at 5:00pm that was full of people and at least one priest in procession from each of the parishes in the Archdiocese..and Indian dancers...It was quite a spectacle

A beautiful Catholic Basilica built to honor St. Francis, this church has some incredible art work in it.

A masterful display of icons by Brother Robert Lentz are set behind the altar. In total, there are 12.

Each icon has a gold background then displays various saints in rather unusual poses -- quite out of the ordinary for icons. A modern ...

I have been to cathedrals in Europe, and this reminded of them. The Madonna is awe inspiring - to think it goes back to the 1600's! The painting and architecture as well as the stained glass are beautifully done. Not to be missed.
