City Park (La Nouvelle-Orléans)

Le City Park de La Nouvelle-Orléans est le 6e plus grand parc urbain des États-Unis et le 7e parc le plus visité du pays. City Park est un vaste jardin public situé dans la ville de La Nouvelle-Orléans en Louisiane. Fondé en 1853, ce parc est l'un des plus anciens jardins publics des États-Unis. Il est situé le long du bayou Saint-Jean sur la route de la Métairie entre les quartiers du Bayou Saint-Jean et de City Park. À l'époque de la Louisiane française, ce lieu était un vaste marécage que les colons français asséchèrent au cours du XVIIIe siècle afin de rendre cet espace habitable, entre le développement de la ville portuaire de La Nouvelle-Orléans, sise sur les rives du fleuve Mississippi et le lac Pontchartrain. Ce lieu devint, dans la seconde moitié du XVIIIe siècle, une plantation qui fut la propriété de Santiago Loreins, puis de son gendre Jean-Louis Allard. Avec une superficie de 5,3 km2, il est moitié plus grand que Central Park à New York. Le City Park de La Nouvelle-Orléans détient la plus grande plantation de Quercus virginiana (une espèce de chênes à feuilles persistantes de la famille des Fagaceae), dont certains sont âgés de plus de 600 ans. Au cours du XXe siècle, le City Park devint un lieu de villégiature et de loisirs avec l'aménagement du jardin et la création d'un péristyle, l'ouverture d'un casino et l'inauguration d'un musée d'art. Dans les années 1930 fut installé un jardin botanique. Après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, un terrain de golf fut aménagé. Depuis 1999, se déroule chaque année un festival musical, le Voodoo Experience (en), au moment de la fête d'Halloween. En 2005, l'ouragan Katrina a détruit plus d'un millier d'arbres et dévasta le jardin botanique. L'inondation qui s'ensuivit submergea le parc jusqu'à une hauteur de 3 mètres d'eau pendant près d'un mois. Un plan de reconstruction et de réaménagement du parc fut élaboré à la suite de cet ouragan. Après quelques années de rénovations et de réhabilitation, les attractions du City Park ont rouvert ainsi que le jardin botanique. De nouvelles pistes cyclables ont été tracées et de nouvelles promenades aménagées.

Cementerio de San Luis

El Cementerio de San Luis es el nombre de uno los tres cementerios católicos de Nueva Orleans (Luisiana, Estados Unidos). La mayoría de las tumbas son del siglo XVIII y el siglo XIX, el cementerio se encuentra cerca del Barrio Francés. Todas las tumbas están por encima del nivel del suelo, esto se debe a que por la condición de suelo pantanoso y que la ciudad se encuentra bajo el nivel del mar, cuando llueve en exceso el cementerio se inunda y los féretros saldrían a flote. Este cementerio incluye la tumba de Marie Laveau, la última reina del vudú de Nueva Orleans. Por esta razón el Cementerio de San Luis es muy frecuentado por practicantes de esta religión. Curiosamente, la tumba de esta mujer permaneció ignorada hasta 1970, cuando comenzaron a aparecer a la entrada de la misma dibujos cabalísticos, botellas con filtros mágicos, los signos X (que se refieren a la vida y a la muerte), pequeños ramos de flores, y monedas. Desde entonces, su tumba se ha convertido en un altar y es uno de los sitios más visitados en Nueva Orleáns. Cada lunes se celebra allí una ceremonia a la que acuden quienes practican el vudú, la magia blanca y otras clases de hechicerías, lo que atrae a un buen número de turistas. Los seguidores de Marie Laveau van allí a pedirle que fortalezca sus poderes. En 2014, se llevó a cabo la restauración de la tumba de Marie Laveau, desde entonces escribir en la tumba es motivo de una multa.​ Además desde 2015, el cementerio está abierto sólo a los visitantes con guías turísticos o los que tienen familiares enterrados en el cementerio.​ Véase también Los cementerios de Nueva Orleáns Referencias Enlaces externos Wikimedia Commons alberga una categoría multimedia sobre Cementerio de San Luis.

Cattedrale di San Luigi (New Orleans)

La cattedrale di San Luigi (in inglese: St. Louis Cathedral) è il principale luogo di culto cattolico della città statunitense di New Orleans, nello stato della Louisiana. La chiesa, costruita tra il 1789 e il 1794 e dedicata Luigi IX di Francia, è sede dell'arcidiocesi di New Orleans ed è la più antica tra le cattedrali ancora esistenti nel territorio statunitense. Sorge nel celebre quartiere francese, affacciandosi sulla centrale Jackson Square, nei pressi del Cabildo. Storia Una seconda chiesa, di dimensioni maggiori e costruita in mattoni e legno fu iniziata nel 1725 e fu completata nel 1727. Insieme a numerosi altri edifici, la chiesa fu distrutta nel grande incendio che distrusse parte della città il 21 marzo 1788. [4] La prima pietra del nuovo tempio fu posta nel 1789 e l'edificio fu completato nel 1794. Nel frattempo, nel 1793, la chiesa era stata elevata al rango di cattedrale con l'istituzione della diocesi di New Orleans. Nel 1819 fu aggiunto al fabbricato esistente una torre centrale (progettata da Benjamin Latrobe) con un orologio ed una campana. Su quest'ultima è stato inciso "Victoire" in ricordo della vittoria statunitense della battaglia di New Orleans nel 1815. La crescita della popolazione cittadina rese necessario un ampliamento generale dell'edificio. Nel 1834 il progetto fu affidato a N. B. de Pouilly. Il 12 marzo 1849, la diocesi incarico John Patrick Kirwan di ingrandire e restaurare la cattedrale basandosi sui piani di De Pouilly. Questi progetti prevedevano che l'intero edificio fosse demolito tranne i muri laterali e le porzioni inferiori delle torri esistenti sulla facciata anteriore. Durante i lavori di ricostruzione, fu stabilito che anche le pareti laterali avrebbero dovuto essere demolite. Durante la costruzione nel 1850, la torre centrale crollò. De Pouilly e Kirwan furono così esautorati dall'incarico. Come conseguenza di tutti questi problemi, molto poco della originale struttura coloniale spagnola è rimasto. L'attuale struttura risale infatti principalmente agli anni cinquanta del XIX secolo. La campana della torre del 1819 fu riutilizzata nel nuovo edificio ed è ancora lì oggi. Nel 1964 papa Paolo VI elevò la cattedrale al rango di basilica minore. Nel settembre 1987 papa Giovanni Paolo II visitò l'edificio.

Bazylika katedralna św. Ludwika w Nowym Orleanie

Bazylika św. Ludwika w Nowym Orleanie – główny kościół rzymskokatolickiej archidiecezji nowoorleańskiej oraz katedra miejscowego arcybiskupa. Znajduje się we French Quarter (Dzielnicy Francuskiej) Nowego Orleanu na placu im. Jana Pawła II przy Jackson Square. Na dziedzińcu przed katedrą znajduje się pomnik prezydenta Andrew Jacksona. Historia Pierwszy drewniany kościół powstał niedługo po utworzeniu miasta w 1718. Kolejny wybudowano dziewięć lat później, spłonął on jednak w pożarze miasta w 1788. W latach 1789–1794 powstał nowy kościół pod wezwaniem św. Ludwika będący od 1793 katedrą nowo powstałej diecezji Luizjany i Obu Floryd. W 1819 dobudowano wieżę z zegarem i dzwonem. Z powodu rosnącej liczby wiernych pojawiły się plany przebudowy świątyni. Prace według projektu francuskiego architekta J.N.B. de Pouilly trwały w latach 1849-1850. Z pierwotnej katedry pozostał tylko niewielki procent elementów (m.in. dzwon). Katedra przetrwała dwa poważne huragany – z 1915 i 2005. 19 lipca 1850 świątynia podniesiona została do rangi archikatedry metropolitalnej, gdy utworzona została nowa prowincja kościelna. Tytuł bazyliki mniejszej kościół otrzymał od papieża Pawła VI 9 grudnia 1964. Linki zewnętrzne Strona internetowa katedry. stlouiscathedral.org. [zarchiwizowane z tego adresu (2012-12-26)]. (ang.)

Catedral de Nova Orleães

A Catedral de Nova Orleães ou Catedral de São Luís (em inglês St. Louis Cathedral) é uma igreja catedral, sede da Arquidiocese de Nova Orleães. Localiza-se na Praça Jackson do Bairro Francês (French Quarter) de Nova Orleães, no estado da Luisiana, nos Estados Unidos. História Nova Orleães foi fundada pelos franceses em 1718, e uma igreja paroquial dedicada a São Luís foi levantada durante a década de 1720 e consagrada em 1727. Em 1788, quando o povoado já estava em mãos da coroa espanhola, a igreja foi destruída num grande incêndio que devastou Nova Orleães. A reconstrução começou em 1789 e terminou em 1794. A igreja, em estilo espanhol, tinha três naves e a fachada era flanqueada por duas torres de seção hexagonal. Na década de 1830, o cabido decidiu encarregar um projeto de remodelação da velha igreja, num estilo mais moderno e espaçoso. Eventualmente foi contratado o arquiteto francês J. N. B. de Pouilly, e as obras começaram em 1849. Apenas as partes inferiores da fachada principal foram reaproveitadas na reconstrução do edifício. A nova igreja foi inaugurada a 7 de dezembro de 1851 pelo arcebispo Antoine Blanc. O interior da catedral foi decorado com pinturas murais e com retábulos de mármore trazidos de Gante (Bélgica). A igreja passou por várias etapas de redecoração e restauro, a última vez depois da passagem do Furacão Katrina em 2005. Em 1964, o Papa Paulo VI designou-a basílica menor, com o título de Basília de São Luís Rei de França.

Собор Святого Людовика (фр. Cathédrale Saint-Louis, англ. Saint Louis Cathedral) — кафедральный собор на территории Французского квартала Нового Орлеана у площади Джексона, резиденция архиепископа Новоорлеанского. На месте современного собора находились три церкви. Первая, деревянная, была построена в 1718 году. В 1725—1727 гг на этом месте была построена новая церковь из кирпича и дерева, но она была уничтожена городским пожаром 1788 года. В 1789—1794 гг была построена третья церковь, которой в 1793 году, ещё во время строительства был присвоен статус кафедрального собора. В 1819 году была построена центральная башня — колокольня с часами. К 1850 году здание собора было расширено и сохранило лишь некоторые черты 1790-х гг. В 1964 году собор стал базиликой, а в 1987 году его посетил Папа Римский Иоанн Павел II. Ураган «Катрина» 2005 года нанёс собору ущерб.

South Louisiana ICE Processing Center

South Louisiana ICE Processing Center (also known as the Basile Detention Center, previously South Louisiana Correctional Facility) is a privately owned and operated prison facility operated by the GEO Group under contract to the federal government. It is located on the eastern edge of Basile in Acadia Parish, Louisiana. As of February 2026, it houses 988 immigration detainees, nearly all of the women, with 13% classified as having a criminal conviction. History The facility was opened in 1993 to serve state, federal and local uses by the private prison company LCS Corrections Services. It was later acquired by Wackenhut Corrections Corporation, renamed as The GEO Group, Inc. in 2004. The facility has a capacity of 1,000. The facility had initially housed primarily inmates for the state's Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections. It housed both male and females at a mix of minimum, medium, and maximum security, with a capacity of 1,048. It was also used to house some persons detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) prior to hearings or deportation. In July and August 2009, a hundred ICE inmates at this facility staged a series of five hunger strikes to protest substandard conditions and lack of appropriate medical care. Somewhat later, the state relocated many of its inmates to other properties, and the facility became idle. In April 2019, GEO signed a contract modification with ICE to reactivate the facility for exclusively federal use, under an "existing intergovernmental service agreement between Evangeline Parish, Louisiana and ICE". Beginning intake in third quarter 2019, the facility is now used exclusively to house male and female ICE detainees awaiting immigration court hearings and/or deportation. It is under the supervision of the ICE Field Office in New Orleans. Controversy Since re-opening under ICE, the prison has been the subject of multiple complaints about sexual harassment, forced labor, and denial of medial care, especially in regards to transgender inmates.
