Texas Must-See | Chapel of St. Basil
✝️ Houston's Hidden Gem : Chapel of St. Basil. Experience the perfect blend of minimalist geometric architecture and light-and-shadow aesthetics at the Chapel of St. Basil, located on the campus of the University of St. Thomas in Houston. The way the light filters through the design is truly mesmerizing. 🌟 I highly recommend visiting in the afternoon. As the sun sets, the book-page design of the church's main entrance really stands out, creating a sense of depth and space that's almost otherworldly. 🌇 The chapel is free to visit, but be mindful that there are Masses and prayers held throughout the day. On Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays, there are special devotions. It’s best to check the schedule beforehand and plan your visit to avoid these times out of respect for the local culture and faith.🙏 🗺️ Location : Malloy Hall, 1018 W Alabama St, Houston, TX. It's conveniently located near downtown Houston, and there are plenty of other attractions nearby, like the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, the Galleria Shopping Center, and the Water Wall. You can easily make a day of it! 📍 🚗 Parking : The official recommendation is to park at the Moran Parking Center (3807 Graustark), which costs $10 per visit. I tried street parking, but it’s not ideal and can be tricky, so I’d suggest using the designated parking area. 🚘 #AtmosphericVibes #Minimalism #ArchitectureLovers #PhotographyGoals
