In Hai Ba Trung Street, stands the Cathedral of Notre Dame. Cathedral area of 35 x 93 square meters, has a twin bell towers reaching 58 feet high.
Marseilles original bricks that make up the cathedral since 1877 still show original color, red. In front of him, a statue of the Virgin Mary standing with grace. Rose as high as 4.2 meters, the statue made of Italian marble that weighs 8.5 tons.
