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!

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.

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.

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

Beautiful historic church, a must vision t in Baltimore

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

Absolutely beautiful. Not only the upper Basilica with its simplistic beauty, but many miss the lower level/portion where the Blessed Sacrament/Adoration Chapel is located. Truly the lower level/downstairs is a must visit prayerful, quiet, meditative, get-a-way to feel a more deeper sense of prayer and solemnity. Both upper and lower spaces are 100% worth the visit. I go there weekly for my holy hour. It's open 7a-7p weekends which is wonderful. Weekdays only open until 1 or 2 P.M. sadly.

Weekdays morning mass held in the crypt chapel below the basilica. The basilica is huge and serene. There is also perpetual adoration chapel next to the crypt chapel. Perfect for praying!
