Create an itinerary including Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception
Designed in the elegant French Gothic style, Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception remains a Denver landmark and masterpiece of construction. Completed in 1912, it boasts twin 64 m (210 ft) bell spires that have dominated the surroundings ever since, but it is the church's stark white interior that will leave you awestruck. Altars, columns, statues, pulpit, and bishop's throne are all made of finest Italian marble, while colorful stained-glass windows came from the Royal Bavarian Art Institute in Munich, Germany.

  • Beautiful and friendly Catholic church in Denver created in a magnificent but well balanced form. Large space. Beautiful stained glass windows. Interesting sacral art.

  • This is church is breathtaking! All the details are intricate and ornate! Just amazing! If you need a space to pray, then why not this place? It is serene and peaceful inside! Despite the downtown clamor, it’s quiet inside! You are definitely in your own little world! There is free parking on the east side of the church. Spaces are limited and so coming earlier before a mass time is highly recommended.
  • This is a very very beautiful basilica. The stained glass windows are breath taking. Each one is full of so much color and life. You can spend hours contemplating how they were created almost 100 years ago and the meaning inside them.
  • Stunning. I brought my grandmother for Sunday mass while she was visiting Colorado and she absolutely loved it! The stained glass windows are breathtaking, and the building is beautifully sculpted without being overwhelmingly large.
  • The cathedral's interior is decorated with stunning stained glass windows, elaborate tile work, and fine wood sculptures. Additionally, the cathedral contains a magnificent pipe organ that is used for concerts and religious occasions.
  • This Basilica is a gift from Heaven. I am blessed to have been given the opportunity to have my wedding there. I will forever be grateful for that great honor. It's so beautiful you don't want to leave. Every piece speaks to you about God. You clearly feel the Presence of God there. I hope to return again.
