One of the most important Catholic churches in the southern USA, the Cathedral of the Assumption is a picturesque landmark on 5th Street that's worthy of a visit. While the church itself was founded in 1811, the current building was constructed on the site of an earlier church in 1852.

One of the most important works is currently on display at the Speed Art Museum: The Dead Christ Mourned by Matthew Harris Jouett hung above the cathedral organ for many decades before being fully restored.
