Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica of Saigon stands as a beautiful remnant of French colonial architecture, built between 1863 and 1880. Its two 58-meter bell towers and red bricks imported from France make it a distinctive landmark in Paris Square. Visitors can admire the neo-Romanesque facade, stained glass windows, and a statue of the Virgin Mary in the front garden. The cathedral remains an active place of worship and a popular photo spot.
