Saigon Notre-Dame Basilica
Saigon Notre-Dame Basilica, Gothic cathedral in Ben Nghe Ward, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
The Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of The Immaculate Conception features red brick walls, two 58-meter bell towers, and French stained glass windows.
French colonists initiated the construction between 1863 and 1880, importing materials from France including distinctive red bricks from Toulouse for the exterior walls.
The cathedral functions as the mother church of the Archdiocese of Saigon, influencing religious life throughout southern Vietnam with regular masses and ceremonies.
Located at 1 Cong Truong Cong Xa Paris Street, the cathedral stands near Saigon Central Post Office and Independence Palace in downtown Ho Chi Minh City.
In 1962, Pope John XXIII designated this structure as one of only four basilicas in Vietnam, recognizing its importance within the Vietnamese Catholic community.
