The Cathedral of Christ the Light

Per què ho recomanen els residents?

Historically, people would go into a Gothic cathedral and their necks would snap up immediately, because they’d be so taken by its soaring verticality. This building does that pretty well. It’s vertically oriented, and there’s a ton of light coming in from above, both sacred architectural motifs. Like all good cathedrals, the outside does not tell you everything. Enter quietly and you’ll find some unexpected surprises within, especially above the altar, where you’ll see a huge translucent figure of Jesus.

Go for the clean lines of mid-century modern inspired architecture - it's the Bay Area's newest Catholic church and a beauty at that.

Beautiful cathedral right next to Lake Merritt. They offer tours, or you can have self-guided tours. Check their website for more information. 2 miles away.

Regardless of one's religion, the futuristic glass architecture, as well as the massive wood organs, are extraordinary and sights to behold.
