Whenever my family and I visit Vietnam, we would always visit the stunning cathedral because of the building’s beauty and meaning. The building was constructed between 1863 and 1880 and is located in the downtown area of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. It is said that all of the building materials used to construct the massive church were imported from France and is designed by French architect Jules Bourard, who focused on religious architecture. It is to be the most fascinating cathedral in Vietnam where it is the religious center for 6.2 million Catholics in Vietnam. I’ve always been awed by the details centered towards the massive windows and symmetry work. I am not as religious as I was when I was younger, but I always feel a connection when I enter the doors of the cathedral because the architecture of the building gives it a vibrant and colorful ambiance whether you’re Catholic or not. I would feel contented and proud that this masterpiece is located in my birth country where Vietnam is not really known for its architecture but should be.
