Exploring 100-year-old Basilica-style church in Kon Tum
Kon Tum Cathedral, a 100-year-old church made of
beautiful wood that is considered a masterpiece of Catholic architecture in
Southeast Asia, is a must-see destination for visitors to the Central Highlands
province. Construction of the church, the only Basilica-style wooden Catholic
church left in the world, started in mid-March 1913 and was completed in early
1918. Many hardships, including the breakout of the First World War, slowed
down the construction progress. Photo: Thanh Dat – VNA
