Cathedral of Saint Mary – one of Miami’s hidden treasures – UPDATED

By: Ines Hegedus-Garcia on November 10, 2007

I have always been fascinated by religious architecture, whether in Miami, South America, Europe¦.it really doesnt matter.  Ive been known to travel with a sketch pad looking for churches or temples to inspire me.  From small chapels to grand cathedrals¦¦.religious architecture takes my breath away.  Some of these spaces evoke a feeling of peace that transcend physical austerity.  I know this may seem a bit far fetched, but there is something about these buildings I cant describe.

I happened to come across The Cathedral of St. Mary a couple of days ago while driving through an area I do not frequent.  I have to tell you that this church left me in total awe.  I did not have the opportunity ot go inside, but wanted to share some outside photos of the church.

Our Miami Churches may not compare to the ones Teresa Boardman shares with us every Saturday (which you should definitely take a look at), but they are still grand.
