The Salt Lake Tabernacle is a famous attraction of historical importance in the capital of Utah. It was erected in 1867 to host Mormon meetings (the official name of the religious denomination sounds like “The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints”). At the time when the tabernacle was built, the construction was so striking in its architecture that it ranked among the wonders of the world. Frank Lloyd Wright also noted the high architectural value of the building and even called it “one of the architectural masterpieces of the country or, possibly, of the whole world”. Many tourists will agree with him after seeing the tabernacle even from a distance. It is no less astonishing on the inside. A magnificent organ – one of the largest in the entire world – is situated inside this building and brought it fame. Besides, the musical instrument earned the praise of many well-known personalities. Among them, you can find Jack Betards, the President of Schoenstein & Co (the oldest and largest organ builder in the western United States).

One more point of interest in Salt Lake City that is worthy of mentioning is the unparalleled Cathedral of the Madeleine. The construction of the place of worship was completed in 1909. In its architecture, elements of neo-Gothic and Neo-Romanesque style can be recognized. It is interesting to note that the facade of the building is decorated with images of saints. On the eastern wall, you can see an image of Joan of Arc, meanwhile, images of John the Baptist and Vincent de Paul can be observed on the western wall. Characters of the Old Testament and the magnificent gargoyles are also represented here and will amaze any tourist. We would like to point out that the cathedral inspired the famous American writer Dan Brown to write his outstanding work “The Da Vinci Code”. This is the reason the shrine is valued as a cinematic and literary landmark.
