Basilica of the Assumption

Of the Blessed Virgin Mary

This basilica, dedicated in 1821, is the oldest cathedral in the United States. The building is highlighted by nine outstanding stained glass windows; the 'Angelus' is still sounded morning and evening on historic bells in the south clock tower. The structure was designed by architect Benjamin Henry Latrobe.

The cathedral is open Monday-Friday; guided tours are given Sundays at mid-day and by appointment.
