When it comes to churches in New York, I bet most people only remember St Patrick Cathedral, located on Fifth Avenue. The truth is that the city is full of churches, with beautiful architecture. This one is really impressive. First, because it is huge, taking an entire block. The contrast of Gothic architecture with the buildings around is fantastic. With 121,000 sq ft, this cathedral disputes with Liverpool Anglican Cathedral the title of “largest Anglican church in the world.” It is also the fourth largest church in the world, with 600 ft long and 230 ft high (the highest point). Designed in 1888 and started in 1892, the cathedral has undergone profound aesthetic changes and went through a period of standstill in the period of the World Wars. In December 2001, a fire interdicted the cathedral for repairs and it was only reopened in 2008. It was the most amazing cathedral I have ever visited, it’s impossible not to be a little shocked.
