Church in Nha Trang a piece of architectural art

The Christ the King Cathedral is the largest church in the central coastal city of Nha Trang. The church built almost 100 years ago is also known as Da (Stone) church, Nui (Mountain) church, Nha Trang church, or Nga Sau church among locals.

On September 3, 1928, the construction of the church began on a small mountain named Hon Mot. It was built entirely of stone in French Gothic style and featured beautiful stained glass windows by Priest Louis Vallet (1869 - 1945). After Vallet died, he was buried at the foothills of the church. By December, 1941, the work was completed. (Photo: VNP/VNA)
