On that note, a visit to this beautiful location can be included as a walking tour around the Major settings of Ho Chi Minh City in your itinerary.
This embodiment which represents the colonial presence in the city was established by the French empire in the 18th Century. The Duc Ba Cathedral flaunts the eminence of European architecture, highlighting the features of the Neo-Romanesque Period along with a touch of the Eastern culture. The history of this beautiful landmark boasts to have inherited its beauty from the sourced materials of France.

The striking Bell towers looming on the sky line of the city and the 56 glass square that bring in light and beauty to the church from Mother Nature are extremely captivating. Moreover, the lovely standing statue of Mother Mary and the surrounding garden also contribute to enhance the beauty of this setting.
