UNIVERSITY OF ST THOMAS

This private Catholic university, located next to the Rothko Chapel and the Byzantine Church, offers a pleasant walk through the campus and a detour to the beautiful St. Basil's Chapel. This modern chapel, with its Byzantine feel, is an architectural marvel. Its architect, Philip Johnson, designed a large white cube, topped by a golden dome and crossed by a slanted Catholic cross. On sunny days, the light penetrates through the cross inside the chapel, offering a spectacle of pure beauty.
