The Baltimore Basilica

The Basilica is a beautiful Catholic church, the first in the United States according to the tour guide. I went to the 10:30 Sunday Mass and was blessed to watch a baptism. They also offered a tour after mass that was just over an hour to see the beautiful church and learn about the history. I drove in from Harrisburg PA and spent the day in Baltimore. Beautiful day trip and highly recommend!

Beautiful historical building. Not a catholic or christian, but the church was beautiful. I can see that it has been here for awhile but still beautiful. Not many people were there during the weekday. I think there is a tour upon a request for the basement area where all the historical artifacts are stored. Idk how the mass is like but i think the priest I came across today was really friendly. I recommend here on weekdays because weddings may happen on weekend

Huge fan of basilicas in general and when I saw Baltimore had one I had to go visit it. Idk about any of you but basilicas don’t disappoint when it comes to architecture. Flew my drone around it and got a view of the city too.

America's first catholic cathedral. It has an impressive Roman style architectural facade. Frescos and sculptures on the interior are beautiful. This is not the biggest cathedral I have visited, but it does impress with history and style.

The first catholic Basilica of North America. It was earlier the cathedral and now elevated to the Basilica. The Crypt church is good and has weekdays masses

Since the Baltimore Archdiocese closed my parish, I've been attending Sunday masses at The Basilica, and it's been an amazing experience. The architecture is absolutely stunning, and I find myself in awe every time I walk through the doors. I feel a deeper connection to my faith since starting to attend masses at this beautiful place. I highly recommend visiting if you're ever in town and looking for a spiritual experience. It has truly become a special place for me and my family.

This is a must-see historic basilica in Baltimore. So much history can be discovered in this building and is a marvel for architecture lovers.

Started in 1806 and finished in 1821, much of the delay was due to decision-making. When we stand in awe of US buildings such as this, consider European architecture dating back BC. To stand at their foundations and consider the task! If you can, everyone should go somewhere overseas and experience ‘the old’ to REALLY feel our ‘old’.
