Close to the celebrity Phan Boi Chau Memorial Hall. The Phu Quoc Cathedral in Hue is located on Phu Quoc Mountain on the south bank of the Xiangshui River. It enjoys a superior geographical location and a broad view. The campus houses the buildings of the Hue Archdiocese, which are very solemn and ancient. Weekday Mass Time: 05:00 - 18:00 Sunday Mass time at the church: 05:30 - 08:00 - 15:00 - 18:30. Hue Cathedral was officially completed in May 2000, coinciding with the 150th anniversary of the establishment of the Hue Diocese. The church's floor plan is in the shape of a cross, with the top facing south and the bottom facing north - these are the church's cardinal directions. The main facade of the building is divided into three parts, including the main hall, the central temple and two towering bell towers on both sides. The structure of the Fugan Church was built using the most modern technology of the time, with concrete and steel. The load-bearing structural system was considered as the focus, creating a unique character for the project's architecture and interiors. Walking into the cathedral, you will admire the system of supporting columns and roof pillars designed closely to the sides of the walls, which are impressively curved to form a soft dome system, symbolizing the image of the parishioners with their hands folded in prayer. The middle area is quite large and includes walkways and prayer seating areas, accommodating up to 3,000 people. On the blank walls on either side hang wooden framed paintings depicting the life of Jesus. The main altar is located at the back of the church, sitting on a solemn platform. The cross is made of old pine wood, placed in a high place, is circular in shape, and has many steps to climb up. The best places to take the "million-dollar photo" are outside the church and on the stairs going up. Address: 1 Đoàn Hữu Trưng, ​​Phước Vĩnh, Huế, Thành phố Huế, Vietnam #Vietnam #VietnamTravel #Hue
