This gothic-style cathedral is a majestic building decorated with more than 200 gargoyles and grotesques – look out for the Darth Vader sculpture, which was carved following a competition for kids in the 1980s. The cathedral also features more than 200 stained-glass windows, mosaics, artistic metal work, wood carvings and more. This is where Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his final Sunday sermon in 1968, a few days before his assassination on April 4.
