The amazing artistry of the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis extends t the smallest detail of this astounding worship space. This is the grandest and most artistic Cathedral Basilica we have ever visited, and we recommend a tour to anyone making a trip to St Louis, even if you aren't Catholic, just to enjoy the art and artistry of the mosaics, sculptures, domes, and arch windows.
The Baptistry is located on the East Transept of the Cathedral Basilica, and contains both a stone baptismal font and a stone ambry, for the storage of Holy oils used in various Catholic anointing rites.
