What a breathtaking Basilica. It's known to have one of the largest free-standing domes in North America. The greeter was especially kind and hands out brochures for those who are visiting. The dome itself is massive, and there are many sculptures, art pieces, and stained glass windows to enjoy. If you can, go for a service so you can get the full experience.

Gloriously beautiful basilica! As a visitor, I felt welcomed by the parish. Parking was not hard at all. The mass was celebrated with the deacon, priest, and local seminarians. The stained glass and sculptures were a work of art. The mass was enhanced by amazing music from the choir. I highly recommend for your Sunday worship.

Beautiful church and the guy at the door was very welcoming. You do need to pay attention to the visiting hours. Self guided tour and the informational sheet was full of helpful history and pointed out awesome details.

While honeymooning in nearby Maggie Valley, we happened upon the Basilica of St Lawrence. This stood out to us as an architectural oddity in the middle of a modern city, and decided to stop in. The outside betrayed the beauty of the inside where frescoes, tapestries and statuaries reign supreme. An absolute beauty. This structure with its fascinating details in design, is included on my list of Wonders of the World. Truly amazing ❤️
