St. Ignatius lies at the heart of the Ville Cochon district of New Marais. The cathedral is surrounded by gardens on three sides and is elevated above street level. Around the cathedral are many areas for people to meet and there is a shrine under one of the stairwells that is in constant use by citizens looking for guidance during the cities strife. Right outside the front of the cathedral is Bertrand propaganda and a stage in which he appears on during the mission Bertrand Takes the Stage.
