San Fernando Cathedral - San Antonio, TX

Located at the historic center of the city, San Fernando Cathedral and its surrounding plazas served as the center of daily life in San Antonio throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. The church building as it exists today is part Spanish Colonial that dates from 1739 together with a larger, French Gothic-style nave which was added about 1874. This church is the oldest operating cathedral in the United States.

While its current structure has been greatly expanded and renovated over the years, the walls of the original church form the sanctuary of the cathedral today. Built with austere white stone and twin steeples, the San Fernando De Bexar Cathedral has a commanding presence at first glance. In traditional French Gothic form, the interior of the San Fernando Cathedral is a feast for the eyes. Admire the statues, intricate detail found in the stained glass windows and dramatic columns and archways. The history of the cathedral is collectively told through icons and objects throughout.

The Cathedral of San Fernando isn't just a historical landmark and a sanctuary that provides a place for worship, but has become the ecumenical, cultural, civic and service center of San Antonio, TX.
