AAA Editor Notes
St. Patrick's Cathedral (Roman Catholic), Fifth Ave. at 50th St., is one of the largest churches in the United States, with a seating capacity of 2,400. The rose window is 26 feet across, and the pipe organ has 7,855 pipes. Twin spires 330 feet high grace the 14th-century Gothic-style structure. The foundations of the church were laid before the Civil War, but the church was not open until 1879, 14 years after the war ended. An audio tour narrated by Cardinal Timothy Dolan, Archbishop of New York, covers the church's history, art and architecture.

Guided tours are available.
