About Saigon Notre-Dame Cathedral

The twin towers make the cathedral easy to recognize across from the Post Office. Its official name refers to Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, although Notre-Dame de Saigon is the name more used on the sightseeing circuit. The brick facade makes a visual pair with the yellow building on the other side.

The restoration may change framing and access. Plan on viewing it from the outside and confirm any visit inside, respecting services; an old photo without scaffolding is no promise about the scene you'll find on your trip.
