Best cultural gem on the far north side

Madonna Della Strada Chapel, Loyola North Campus

During the Great Depression, the late Cardinal Mundelein became famous for building many of Chicago’s most beautiful religious edifices. Madonna Della Strada is a shot of Visine for architecture admirers who have grown weary of our area’s abundant neoclassical churches. The nave’s interior is done up in a dignified, simplified style of overlapping stone accordion arches making the sanctuary one large modern vestibule, and blessing it with brilliant acoustics.
