Without a doubt, the single most widely seen building in New Orleans is the St. Louis Cathedral. Well, unless you are a member of the Who-Dat Nation, then your answer would be the Superdome! One glimpse of this beautiful church and you automatically know what city you are looking at. If standing on the roof of the cathedral was possible, one would have an incredible view. Without having to move a muscle, you could see the Cabildo, Presbytere, Jackson Square, Jackson Monument, the Mississippi River, Muriel's, the Place d'Armes Hotel and the Pontalba Building! With the French Quarter as the heart of New Orleans, the St. Louis Cathedral would serve as the blood, spreading its Catholic heritage throughout every facet of the neighborhood. With any settlement, the first structure, other than the basic homes, is normally a church. As old as the city itself, so are the roots of the Cathedral.
