About this business

Considered one of the finest examples of Neoclassical architecture, the Baltimore Basilica is the nation's oldest Catholic cathedral. Begun in 1806 and completed in 1821, the cathedral was designed by Benjamin Latrobe, architect of the U.S. Capitol. With its six Corinthian columns fronting a grand portico, the cathedral resembles a Greek temple. Nine stained-glass windows fill the massive interior with light. Visitors in recent years have included Pope John Paul II and the late Mother Theresa.

A national as well as a Catholic treasure. I recommend a visit to the original cathedral of the thirteen colonies.

Stunning architecture with a rotunda like the Capitol. The basilica is light and bright unlike our traditional Catholic cathedrals. I arrived later in the afternoon and had an excellent private tour. The catacombs are a must see! Afterwards, go around the block to the pretty garden

Met a lovely woman named, Debbie, who gave us an amazing tour of the Cathedral. Well worth the visit! God bless, Debbie. The Basilica is lucky to have her!
