The magnificent church, modeled on Roman basilica architecture, fronts a pocket park downtown, on ground it has occupied since the early 1700s. The interior is massive. Saints and artwork decorate the ceilings and giant rotunda. Stained glass windows on either side of the nave date from the 1890s to the early 1900s. In short, without getting into the politics of religion, it’s a spectacularly ambitious cathedral. Remember to feed the poor box on the way out.

It's a habit when travelling with my love to visit local cathedrals and basilicas. The Basilica of the Immaculate Conception in Mobile is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen. The architecture, statuary, and surrounding grounds are incredibly beautiful and the atmosphere inside is positively supernal. Don't miss the stairs down to the smaller chapel / crypt below the main floor, and make sure you visit the statues in the grounds to the left of the main doors. A simply beautiful place and worth a visit.

I was passing through this city when I decided to stop for something to eat and lucky me it was by walking distance of this Cathedral. It was night time so inside was close. Still, outside was clean and it looked magnificent. Wish I could have see it inside. Maybe next time!

Fist off I would like to say that the architecture of the building is absolutely amazing. As I walked through the massive hand crafted wooden doors I felt goosebumps on my body. As I continued to explore the building there were so many things that made me feel the history in this immaculate structure. I was moved by not only the architecture but also by the religious history present. I proceeded to light a votive for my mother who is fighting Leukemia. It just so happens that she was getting her routine treatment. When I spoke to her after she got home from her treatment she went on to tell me how long the treatment had taken that day. She said she was exhausted but knew she had to drive herself home that night down dark country roads. She went on to tell me that when she got on the dark roads this bright star appeared and seemed to light the road up for her. She told me that the star shined on the road until she finally made it to the lite highway near her house. This left me speeches since I had not informed her that I lit a candle for her until the next day. I don't know if this was a coincidence or something special happening. Thanks for the opportunity to visit your magnificent building and I look forward to visiting the Church every time I visit Mobile!!

One of Mobile's oldest & most prominent landmarks, the Cathedral is centrally located in the heart of downtown and easy to walk to from just about anywhere. While exploring one day I discovered SO MANY beautiful little things I would have never otherwise noticed...including a semi-hidden winding staircase that led downstairs...to an amazing crypt with many of our city's most prominent priests buried there! Not to mention that the Cathedral partially covers the site of what was known as \Campo Santo\-the oldest KNOWN cemetery in the Mobile area (sadly, nothing remains...above ground...of this cemetery anymore).
