Overview
Da Nang Cathedral, completed in 1923, is the main Catholic church of the city. The pink facade and the tall bell tower, topped with a weather vane in the shape of a rooster, give it the nickname Rooster Church (Nha tho Con Ga). The style is Gothic with local touches.
The church is open to visitors but is first a place of worship, so dress modestly and keep quiet during services. It stands on Tran Phu Street, a short walk from Han Market and the Han River, so it fits easily into a city walk.
Highlights
- See the pink facade and the rooster weather vane
- Look at the Gothic interior
- Pair it with Han Market
- Photograph the tower in the afternoon light
