Online Highways Home > Connecticut > Hartford City Map with Features Cathedral of St. Joseph The present modern cathedral was opened in 1962 replacing a gothic structure that burned in 1956. The new cathedral, the home of the Archdiocese of Hartford, is noted for its huge expanse of spectacular stained glass windows crafted in Paris, the ceramic tile mural behind the altar that is the largest of its kind in the world, and its majestic four manual Austin pipe organ. The sturdy U-shaped structure is suggestive of a modern day version of the Parisian famous Sainte-Chapelle with walls of breathtaking faceted stained glass windows. The cathedral seats 1,750 people, including the two side chapels. The structure is of reinforced cast concrete sheathed inside and outside with limestone. The tower contains a set of 12 cast bronze bells ranging in weight from 225 lbs. to 3,850 lbs. and is topped with a 25 foot high stainless steel cross. Read reviews and find hotels in Hartford.
