St. Louis Cathedral - New Orleans

Officially known as The Cathedral-Basilica of Saint Louis, King of France, this is the oldest cathedral in continuous use in America, its triple steeples overlooking Jackson Square and providing a New Orleans landmark. With a history that reaches back to the 1720s — the devoted have worshiped in churches on this site since then — the cathedral was completed in 1794 but suffered destruction from fire and was rebuilt with the current structure unveiled in the 1850s.
