St. Barbara's Roman Catholic Church (New York City)

St. Barbara’s, built in 1910, boasts ornate Spanish architecture and one of the tallest spires in Brooklyn, visible throughout Bushwick and adjacent neighborhoods. To appreciate the true beauty of this church, be sure to go inside and check out the stained glass windows and domed ceiling.

St. Barbrara's is an incredible architectural signature of Bushwick, easily the tallest Building in the area (till the condos catch up!). Its history reflects that of Bushwick. Built by Germans, taken over by Italians, now cared for by a huge Latino congregation. It survived the fires and the desolation of the 1970's to be a gem of a reborn Bushwick.
