The Aurora Cathedral
You'll immediately notice Alta’s Northern Lights Cathedral – a sculptural spiral that starts at the base and swirls skywards – made of shimmering titanium. Its interior has a stark look – raw concrete, wood, light strips surrounding the altar, and a bronze sculpture of Jesus.
After a guided tour of the church, visit the Borealis Alta interactive exhibition where you can learn more about the Aurora.
