Once the seat of New York's archdiocese, this 19th-century landmark offers quiet refuge and historic catacombs.
Description




Inside, the cathedral maintains a quiet, solemn space to pray and meditate, where the history behind the structure remains visible. Having endured a 19th-century fire, the church uncovers its origins through catacombs tours that reflect the perseverance of the early community that established the Catholic church in New York City.
