Attraction

Da Nang Cathedral

Hai Chau, Da Nang

Overview

Built in 1923 under French rule, Da Nang's only cathedral raises a 70m spire in pastel pink above downtown, topped by the rooster weathervane that gives it its local nickname. Inside, stained glass meets modest Gothic lines, and daily masses still fill the pews. Right beside Han Market, it slots into any downtown walk as the photo stop; outside mass times, interior access can be limited, so plan around the facade.
