Yesterday was spent on a full day tour that included stops at the Cao Dai temple and then the famous Cu Chi Tunnels. I was done with the day tours I had planned from Ho Chi Minh City so today was just going to be dedicated to exploring the other sights of this bustling city.
Unfortunately, the Notre-Dame Cathedral was under-going renovation works and was closed off to the public.
The church was initially named the Church of Saigon at the time of its construction by French colonists between 1863 and 1880. It was renamed in 1959 as the church looked similar to the Notre-Dame in Paris.
Which sucked, as I saw photos online that showed the church’s interiors and it did look quite nice. So it would have made for good photography.
