Kāpēc vietējie to iesaka

Historically, people would go into a Gothic cathedral and their necks would snap up immediately, because they’d be so taken by its soaring verticality. This building does that pretty well. It’s vertically oriented, and there’s a ton of light coming in from above, both sacred architectural motifs. Like all good cathedrals, the outside does not tell you everything. Enter quietly and you’ll find some unexpected surprises within, especially above the altar, where you’ll see a huge translucent figure of Jesus.

Go for the clean lines of mid-century modern inspired architecture - it's the Bay Area's newest Catholic church and a beauty at that.

Beautiful cathedral right next to Lake Merritt. They offer tours, or you can have self-guided tours. Check their website for more information. 2 miles away.

Anchored by the world's newest Catholic cathedral - The Cathedral of Christ the Light - the entire Cathedral Center is a beautiful and welcoming gathering place to experience liturgy, arts and cultural events reflecting the diversity of Oakland and the Bay Area.

The architecture is AMAZING! Inside and out, this building inspires awe for the religious and non-religious alike. Set atop a beautiful plaza overlooking Lake Merritt… a must see!
