This huge, multi-domed church was originally built in 1877 and was restored to its original splendor in 1990. This is actually the fifth location of the parish seat; the first was built in 1803. The present structure is a monumental building. Incredible stained glass work renders the sanctuary into a lovely, almost mystical space when the sun causes the colors to play across the walls, pews and floor. Masses are held in Spanish and English.A gem in downtown San JoseWorth a visit
Who would have guessed there was a basillica in San Jose? Very few cities outside of Europe have one. Church is beautiful, especially the stained glass and dome. Be sure to go to the back of the church to see the original alter. At free, the price is right. Definately recommend it.
The Basilica has been beautifully remodeled and restored. The facility suffers from poor acustics during church services, but is visually stunning.
