Hanoi Cathedral
Location: Hanoi Cathedral is
at 40 Nha Chung Street, Hoan Kiem District, Hanoi.
Characteristic: Hanoi Cathedral was built on the
site of the former Bao Thien Tower, which was
famous in the ancient capital of Thang Long under
the Ly Dynasty (the 11th and 12th
centuries).
Hanoi Cathedral, also known as
Saint Joseph's Cathedral, was inaugurated on
Christmas Day 1886, two years after its
construction. Its design is similar to the
architecture of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris.
Many catholic rituals have been held there. A
ritual ceremony dedicated to Jesus Christ is
held in this cathedral every year on March 19.
