Discover the Best Cathedral Basilica Of St. Louis Tours

Known to have one of the largest mosaic collections in the Western Hemisphere, this St. Louis cathedral is an architectural wonder. Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis was constructed from 1907-14 to replace the city's former cathedral situated along the Mississippi River. The mosaics, however, weren't finished until 1988 to have a grand total of 41.5 million glass pieces with more than 7,000 colors over an area of 83,000 square feet. The cathedral was designed by architects Barnett, Haynes & Barnett in Neo-Byzantine and Romanesque Revival styles. It contains a museum and gift shop for visitors.
