Jackson Square & St. Louis Cathedral

Jackson Square with St. Louis Cathedral in the French Quarter

French Quarter

The heart of the French Quarter, Jackson Square is a landscaped park framed by the triple-spired St. Louis Cathedral, the oldest continuously operating Catholic cathedral in the U.S. Around the fenced square you will find local artists, palm readers and street musicians. It is free to wander; step inside the cathedral when it is open, then grab beignets nearby.
