Lonely Planet review for Notre Dame Catholic Cathedral

Two blocks north of Sainte Trinité in Bel Air this cathedral is the city’s largest ecclesiastical building. Completed in 1912, the pink-and-yellow structure has two domed towers on its west face. The cathedral itself was one of the first in the world to be built from re­inforced concrete, and as such had to receive special dispensation from the Vatican to be consecrated. Worshippers fervently pray on the cathedral steps, at the gates and around the walls, alongside beggars and small stalls selling Catholic ephemera.

    This cathedral was a wonderful place to visit, but sadly the earthquake destroyed it and as of summer 2011 it is still in ruins. It is not safe to go inside.
