Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception Introduction
Often seen in television commercials, an elegantly designed church might be mistaken for a filming location abroad. However, it is actually the largest cathedral in Taiwan - the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, also known as the Rose Cathedral. Located near the Love River, the Rose Cathedral was founded in 1859 and is the first church established by the Catholic Church during its re-establishment in Taiwan. It is also the birthplace of modern Catholicism in Taiwan and has been a source of faith for countless people in southern Taiwan for over a hundred years. Today, it serves as the cathedral of the Catholic Diocese of Kaohsiung and is one of the three major cathedrals in Asia.
