The Danang Cathedral is one of the most popular tourist spots with its distinctive pink architecture in Danang. It is known by the locals as the rooster Church because of the rooster on its weather vane. Another Catholic Church down the road sports a fish. It is close to the fish market so its parishners are fishermen.

Danang Cathedral is one of those grand old Churches. It was built for the French residents in 1923 and remains in great condition today. Danang Cathedral can accommodate more than 4,000 members of the Catholic community in the area .Like all Catholic Church compounds you are not just offered a Church but a compound for meditation, instruction and houses for the staff.

The architecture of the cathedral is marvellous with several medieval–stained glass windows of various saints. Masses are held from Monday to Saturday at 5 a.m. and 5 p.m., and on Sunday at 5:00 a.m., 6:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.

Almost all of these Churches have a school nearby that used to be a Catholic School. They are all confiscated by the government and are now public schools. The government has been warming up to the Churches calling them a “moral authority” for the people. The local government of Tam Nong when you were there on a Catholic relief mission even made a gift of a table and chairs to the Priest. Recently, they made legal some Protestant Churches.
