Completed in 1914 and dedicated in 1915, St. Mary's Basilica is home to Arizona's largest stained glass windows collection. The Roman architecture building contains four domes supported by Spanish Mission structure. The dome located over the altar is topped with a cupola designed to provide light to the altar.
