The Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart, the fifth-largest cathedral in North America, is the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Newark. It is located at 89 Ridge Street in the Lower Broadway neighborhood of Newark, New Jersey. Construction began in 1899 and was finished in 1954. The original design called for an English-Irish Gothic Revival church, but plans were later modified in favor of a French Gothic Revival style.To plan Newark vacation without wasting time, ask Klarna Trips to design an itinerary.

One of the bigger churches in the east. Nice windows. If it is cherry blossom time, drive through the park next to the church.

The architecture is absolutely stunning, the artwork and the craftsmanship is so very gorgeous inside. A must visit if you are anywhere nearby Jersey city. Looks like this place is super famous for the photo shoots. Roadside parking is available and I think they’ve got additional parking lots nearby. It’s a must visit, add this amazing place to your itinerary if you’re visiting Jersey city. Added some of my captures from this place below……

I really want to share my experience. I went to this Basilica on a Sunday morning. After the mass, with all my friends we received the most amazing tour around the Basilica with a great man, David. I don't know anybody who knows more saints names and history about them than David. He explained each statute, every single detail inside the Basilica structure, inside and outside. He was awesome and did a wonderful job. I thank David for taking his time and giving us such an amazing tour.

This is a sacred sanctuary regardless of religious affiliations. I’ve felt powerful solace and strength during my hardest moments of life just sitting in an empty pew. There are some special musical performances every so often that I have yet to see, but they look fabulous. Very grateful for opening your doors to everyone and I look forward to visiting once again to meditate in this gorgeous space.

This cathedral is just a masterpiece in itself. The architecture is stunning and the artwork/craftsmanship is so beautiful inside and out. This is definitely a must visit when you're near the area!

What a beautiful basilica! I was lucky enough to call and VOILA!... I was able to visit the same day and was completely alone there for a good hour. Um not very religious but I am spiritual and believe in something larger than me, us, everyone. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Highly recommended to reboot your chakra or just be in the now!! The architecture really does make us wonder how amazing humans really can be!!!
