Facing Stone Avenue, St. Augustine Cathedral, dedicated to Tucson’s patron saint, was built in 1896 and remodeled several times over the years. The facade has stone-carved yucca, saguaro, and horned-toad flourishes, and there are statues of the Virgin Mary and the titular saint near the big heavy-wood entrance.
Catholics or anyone interested in regional variations on the Mass may want to attend the lively mariachi mass at 8 a.m. every Sunday. Inside, one of the bells formerly used in the Spanish-era cathedral is preserved in the vestibule.
