St. Louis Cathedral, Catholic cathedral in French Quarter, New Orleans, United States.
The Cathedral displays white facade walls, three towers with Gothic spires, and large arched windows arranged in symmetrical patterns along its exterior.
The original wooden church from 1718 was replaced after a fire in 1788, leading to the construction of the current stone building in 1789.
The cathedral houses numerous artworks depicting Saint Louis IX of France, including stained glass windows that narrate episodes from his life.
Visitors can attend daily masses, explore the cathedral between services, and participate in guided tours that explain its architectural features.
Three separate bells within the cathedral towers ring at specific times, with the central bell named Victoire commemorating the 1815 Battle of New Orleans.

New Orleans, the birthplace of jazz, reveals its musical history through its neighborhoods and concert halls. The French Quarter features wrought-iron balconies and Creole buildings facing St. Louis Cathedral, while Bourbon Street is home to jazz clubs and music venues. Preservation Hall has upheld the jazz tradition since 1961 in a building from the 18th century, and Jackson Square hosts musicians and street performers in the city center. The musical heritage extends from the Marigny district, with its Creole houses and clubs, to Congo Square, once a gathering place for African music in the 19th century. The Garden District showcases its 19th-century homes surrounded by gardens, while City Park offers 500 hectares of century-old oaks and botanical gardens. The Louisiana State Museum completes this exploration with its regional history and art collections.
