Taken from Wikipedia, "The Cathedral of St. Patrick (commonly called St. Patrick's Cathedral) is a decorated Neo-Gothic-style Roman Catholic cathedral church in the United States and a prominent landmark of New York City. It is the seat of the archbishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York, and a parish church, located on the east side of Fifth Avenue between 50th and 51st Streets in Midtown Manhattan, directly across the street from Rockefeller Center and specifically facing the Atlas statue."
There are two bell towers, each about 300 feet tall. The north tower is a registered benchmark in geocaching.com while the south one isn't. The towers have a gothic architecture so many small aches can be seen, letting in the natural daylight. Each tower has a few bells, the exact number unknown. They ring every hour on the hour.
