Built between 1877 and 1883, Notre Dame Cathedral enlivens the heart of
Ho Chi Minh City's government quarter, facing Ð Dong Khoi. A brick,
neo-Romanesque church with 40m-high square towers tipped with iron
spires, the Catholic cathedral is named after the Virgin Mary. Interior
walls are inlaid with devotional tablets and some stained glass
survives. English-speaking staff dispense tourist information from 9am
to 11am Monday to Saturday. If the front gates are locked, try the door
on the side facing the Reunification Palace.
