Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica of Saigon

Why go

Built during the French colonial period, the cathedral stands out for its brick exterior and two bell towers. Its later designation as a basilica reflects its role in the city’s Catholic life. Look for what remains visible around restoration work, then continue through the neighboring central streets rather than planning an indoor visit.
