The Cathedral's Charm

Walking towards the cathedral, the first thing that strikes you is its striking red-brick facade, which has withstood the test of time. Its twin bell towers, soaring skywards, house six bronze bells that often chime, filling the air with melodious notes. Inside, the cathedral is equally captivating. Stained glass windows cast a myriad of colors onto the pews, while the detailed altars showcase exquisite craftsmanship.
