[Hanoi Cathedral] Hanoi Cathedral, also known as Saint Josephs Cathedral, is the oldest Roman Catholic church in Hanoi. It was inaugurated on Christmas Day 1886, two years after its construction. Its design is similar to the architecture of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. Hanoi Cathedral is 64.5m in length, 20.5m in width with two bell towers of 31.5m-height. Though the appearance of the cathedral, from the doors, the colourful window glass, to the religious paintings for decoration follows Western style, the main interior part is decorated in Vietnamese way with two typical colours- yellow and red. Outside, in front of the cathedral is the statue of Mother Maria. ------------------------------------------------- * Contact us for FREE tour booking: P: (0968) 652 629 E: freetourguide.cross@gmail F: https://facebook/groups/crossfreetourguide/ Welcome you guys ^^
