The 58m/190ft high Cathedral of the Sacred Heart in Yide Lu Street is the largest Roman Catholic church in China. The French architects Vonutrin and Humbert built it between 1863 and 1888 in Neo-Gothic style out of granite that was transported from Kowloon in Hong Kong. The land was granted to France as compensation for its loses during the Second Opium War. Its four bells were cast in France as were the stained-glass windows.
