Skywatch#108 Notre Dame Cathedral, Saigon, Vietnam
Like in almost all of our travels, a church is part of the itinerary. This one was no different.
Notre Dame Cathedral is just beside another architectural treasure of the city of Ho Chi Minh, the Postal Office. Officially known as the Basilica of Our Lady of The Immaculate Conception, the cathedral is located in the downtown of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Established by French colonists, the cathedral was constructed between 1863 and 1880. It has two bell towers, reaching a height of 58 meters (190 feet).
We were planning to get inside the cathedral to offer some prayers but it was closed for the lunch break so we made do with taking photos outside of it before proceeding to the postal office for another round of picture taking.

Calling by as another Skywatch participant, thankyou for the visit and comment left on my entry. I have visited Notre Dame in Paris and can see the likeness! I would like to visit this one in Saigon as well, maybe one day.
Oh my... this is a wonderful shot! I did not realize they had a Notre Dame in Vietnam as well. They are both beautiful.
