Notre Dame Cathedral of Saigon

Built by French colonialists in the late 1880s, Our Lady of Saigon Cathedral is one of the few remaining strongholds of the Catholic community in Buddhist-majority Vietnam. Located in Paris Square, it was named after the erection of Our Lady of Peace in 1959. The cathedral is about 60 meters high, and its neo-Romanesque features include an all-red brick facade (imported from Marseille), stained-glass windows, and two bell towers containing six bronze bells that still ring today.
