Sightseeing at Grace Cathedral
Explore this awe-inspiring San Francisco icon.
Experience the wonder of Grace! Discover this striking Gothic cathedral famed worldwide for its labyrinths, Ghiberti doors, Interfaith AIDS Chapel, and inclusivity. Wander through the building as you admire the cathedral’s stunning stained glass, Aeolian-Skinner pipe organ, and religious and secular art by Keith Haring, David LaChappelle, Ansel Adams, and more. Learn about the church's history, art, religion, architecture, and social justice initiatives, along with San Francisco's history, including the 1906 fire and the founding of the United Nations.
