it offers a different view to the city, and it is worth to visit then. However, with almost empty all the time i have been there, it is not too interesting for me. but still it is a beautiful building and can be a landmark for the areas surround it

For tourists visiting the beach resort of Nha Trang in Vietnam, this is a must place to visit. Commonly referred to as the church on the mountain, this is a relic from the french colonisation. This cathedral has survived the changes of governments and attitudes of the local people. It is treasured by both catholic and non catholic vietnamese. It... More

This church is in Nguyen Trai street. The building is not very big but it looks wider from the inside. Anyone who visits Nha Trang should visit this church once because the architecture here is very uniquely beautiful.

We were walking to the train station from our hotel for our trip to Saigon. Saw the cathedral and so pleased that we had time to tour it. A really nice treasure in Nha Trang. Peaceful place in the center of city "hustle and bustle". 1ID/67-68

I came back here twice. The first time I came, Nha Trang was suffering from a typhoon and it was cold and rained all day. We couldn't go swimming so we were just hanging around when we found this sleeping beauty. When I first came here, I just had one question "Why never before did anyone mentioned with me about...

A site that actually allows sanctuary and shade without cost. We were able to walk all around with no crowds of other tourists and most importantly, vendors! It was so peaceful to escape the busy bustle and enjoy the cool inside. Free and hassle fee, what more can you ask for.
