My wife and I visited this place today. The docent wanted us to know that they weren't Catholic, they are Episcopalian. The reason for the "cathedral" is because of the chair the bishop sits in. (Please forgive me if my...Read More

The cathedral carries an old-world charm, reminiscent of those in Italy. Its stained-glass windows glow with breathtaking colors, casting a spellbinding light within.

Absolutely stunning Cathedral—elegant, massive, and full of character. You really feel its presence when you walk in, but if you make it up to the 7th level, there's this surprising sense of peace. I visited during Holy Week and the floral arrangements were beautiful. Pro...Read More

Beautiful cathedral! Fun fact: it’s one of the largest in the world—6th biggest (well, technically 5th, as I learned on the tour 😉). The tour itself is absolutely worth it if you’re planning a visit to D.C. I wish I’d gotten to see the Darth Vader...Read More

I’ve seen cathedrals across Europe and this one is a United States gem. This, by far, is one of the most beautiful examples of flying buttresses. It is just gorgeous and you must see if when in DC. The tapestries are truly breathtaking taking, too.

Breathtaking Gothic architecture. Looks like it's straight out of Europe. Amazing to think it's actually modern construction with craftsmen meticulously following the techniques from centuries past. Truly, hauntingly beautiful.
