A prominent landmark on Jackson Square, St. Louis Cathedral stands as the oldest continuously used cathedral in the United States, built in 1789 and rebuilt in 1850. Serving as the seat of the city’s Roman Catholic Archdiocese, the cathedral features an all-white, Spanish colonial facade with three distinctive black spires. Visitors to the French Quarter can pause to admire this iconic structure, which has become one of the most recognizable symbols of New Orleans.
