The Cathedral of Santa Maria is a famous church in San Francisco, mainly because its exterior design is very special. The decoration inside should be a Catholic church, and there are too many worshippers and no photos taken inside.

This cathedral is fantastic. It is already special from the outside but it should be in to see what is truly beautiful. Everything looks like a huge concrete structure, it only makes orderly transformations on a few pillars, which is actually very subtle. Surrounded by natural light passing through the glass walls, this feels like a special place. More interestingly, it was built in a way different from the traditional cathedral. Oh, once you get in, look back at the glass inlay above the door (you probably didn't notice it from the outside).

Some people love the visual appearance of this cathedral, but others hate it too! (We love it!) The public aesthetic of the Cathedral of the Ascension of the Virgin has changed since it was built in 1971! Originally seen as a bit of a disgusting church, but in 2017 it was named the top ten most beautiful churches in the United States. We especially enjoyed the stunning stained glass, using concrete and the amazing shape of a saddle roof made of hyperbolic parabola!

The Cathedral of Santa Maria is not the church we generally think of. This is a church with a sense of design. It feels like a Catholic church. It is very special and beautiful. It attracts many people to visit and take pictures.

When I was drowsy in the car and my guide woke up with a shout from the bus, I looked blankly at the building and square in front of me. It was a very modern and special building. When I wondered what the attractions were, the tour guide had already led the team in front of me and walked in all the way. It turned out to be a church! Such a building is a church! St. Mary's Cathedral! This external and internal structure completely overthrows the traditional church! Looking up at the top of the building, the center presents a huge cross of sunlight and glass, but there is no pillar inside the church. There are tens of millions of churches, and very few churches can be remembered at a glance. This is the most amazing and personalized church besides the Saint Family Church in Barcelona. Later, I learned that this church was created by Pei Yiming, the famous Chinese designer who designed the Suzhou Museum and the railway station. No wonder it was so creative.

Unfortunately, when we arrived, there were activities in the church and no visitors were allowed. We could look in front of the window and take pictures outside. The scenery is good and the architecture is spectacular.

The cathedral is located in the heart of San Francisco. The style of the whole building looks a bit different. There is a modern feeling. The whole church has a postmodern style. It is close to the consulate. There are no special high-rise buildings in the wide square around. Divided solemnity

Santa Maria Cathedral is a small and famous church and monastery in San Francisco. It is worth a visit. The mood naturally becomes calm and you will feel the religious atmosphere after entering. You don't have much time. Take five minutes to go inside and indulge in the color and atmosphere they create.

For the first time in my life, I went to church, fasted a day, prayed for the peace of the country and the people, and suddenly felt great. This church is not too many, not too many people come, the location should be in the city, because there are very busy streets. The church is located in Chinatown. It looks very old. Not in, but it looks delicious outside.
