St Ignatius Cathedral

Who is it that is tapping on my window?
Who is it that is plucking the instrument's strings?
That segment of good times that have been forgotten
Gradually rises up from the bottom of my heart
Forgotten times


St Ignatius Cathedral at Xujiahui (158 Puxi road). One of the most famous Catholic Church cathedral in China, the center of the French Consession in Shanghai. Started to be built in 1896 by Society of Jesus and completed in 1910. Reconstructed in 1982. The main building 83.3 m long and 30 m wide is a wonderful example of neo-gothic stile. Glass windows now incorporate Chinese characters and iconography. Has services in chinese and english every weekend.
