St Augustine Cathedral Tucson

St Augustine Cathedral Tucson

Located 192 S. Stone Ave. in Downtown Tucson it is one of the oldest and largest Roman Catholic Cathedrals in Tucson. Originally built in 1868 and restored in 1968 for the 100 year anniversary. In 2008 much growth and renovation continued and it continues today to the North of the Cathedral. Evident from the machinery in the photo above.

A very popular tourist destination it is difficult to find a time when there aren’t people outside taking photographs of the front.

The best time of the day right now to capture the sun on the front of the Cathedral is morning, anytime of the year best right now between 9 and 10:30 am. The photo above was taken from across the street on a Saturday morning when you don’t have to feed the parking meters downtown.

It is located a couple of blocks from La Placita where you can get a cup of coffee and visit the Tucson Convention and Visitors Bureau at 100 S Church Ave in the middle of La Placita.
