St. Louis Cathedral ranks among the oldest cathedrals in the United States. The first church on the site was built in 1718; the third, built in 1789, was raised to cathedral rank in 1793. The cathedral was expanded and largely rebuilt in 1850, with little of the 1789 structure remaining. It is one of the few Roman Catholic churches in the United States that fronts a major public square.
