THE CATHEDRAL OF OUR LADY OF THE ANGELS

Across from downtown and the world's busiest freeway interchange (used by an estimated 550,000 vehicles a day!) is the L.A. Archdiocese' new Cathedral of our Lady of the Angels (555 W.Temple St, LA 90012). The church's great bronze doors symbolize a bridge over which believers may travel on a journey of faith. The doors, designed by the Mexican born, L.A. sculptor, Robert Graham, required 150 artisans and nearly five years to complete.
