What travelers say:
In fact, it has nothing to do with the church, or can only say that his appearance is like an old European cathedral, here is a teaching building, but very grand and beautiful, the interior can be seen.

Cathedral of Learning Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Cathedral of Learning is one of Pittsburgh's landmarks, one of the National Register of Historic Places, and the centerpiece of the University of Pittsburgh's main campus in Oakland. This 163-meter-high, 42-story post-Gothic Revival church is the tallest campus building in the Western Hemisphere and the tallest campus building in the world. The building is actually the realization of the idea of the tenth president, John T. Portman. Shortly after John came to Pittsburgh in 1921, he decided the university needed a landmark building. In the same year, with the help of the Mellon family, he acquired a plot of land for construction. The church was designed by Charles Lauder, and construction began in 1926 and was completed 11 years later, in 1937.

Pittsburgh learning cathedral is also a very important church, the whole church is very important, there are many tourists here, the church facilities here are also better, the entire space and structure of the cathedral is quite unique.
Learning the cathedral in Pittsburgh was amazing. We were amused to see the main hall like the old castle and the children studying there. It was very beneficial to visit different international rooms while traveling. You spend a little money and get a key to open the room, listen to the recordings of things in each room, make sure to check out the best time for a tour as some of the students in the room are in class. We went on Saturday and it felt great.
A spectacular monument in the heart of Pittsburgh. A library now with over 40 floors. it cannot be missed if you are in the neighbourhood. During winters, fog covers the beautiful architectural marvel.
A famous local church is also a landmark building, it is worth punching in.
My husband and I discussed it and thought we would visit Pittsburgh first, and I wanted to say that studying the cathedral is a must-see place. The only bad thing is that if you go here during the peak season, there will be many other visitors in the room, and the recording opportunities for self-guided tours are difficult to hear clearly. But I have to say that it took a small price to exchange for a very educational experience!
I like here! So much
