NHA TRANG CATHEDRAL

Located on a hill near the roundabout in Nha Trang city center.
Official name: Kito King Cathedral
The church was started construction on September 1928. Formerly, when the French come here, Nha Trang is still a wilderness, to build the church, France army splits Hon Mot, half west of the mountains that was razed by 500 mines to have 4,500 m2 area for build a church. The construction of the Nha Trang Cathedral was completed in 1934.

With intuitive look would think the church was built of split rock, but actually split rock only used in paving courtyard and road, and the entire wall of the church was built with cement dash. The main priest was Louis Vallet and his colleagues casted this cement dash. One of the special things in architecture is only the roof along the corridors of the church was built of reinforced concrete, whole rest of the chapels were built with bamboo reinforced and lattice girders.

The church was built in Gothic architecture with three distinct sections: the bottom section is the door, in the middle part of the round window to stained glass floral decorated pink, the top section is the corridor and bell tower.
Three large bells provided by the Bourdons Carillons Company in 1934, and big clock that was assembled on the tower in December 1935. The buildings of the Nha Trang Cathedral which is now over 76 years old, are still intact and attract many visitors.

(Passion of Jesus) is modeled on the paintings on the walls. To take advantage of sunlight, designers installation glass of green and red colors on floral roses in the doorway arch, creating soft colors.

Mass is held Monday to Saturday at 5am and 4:30pm and Sunday at 5am to 7am and 4:30pm.
