Website | EmailThis unusual and distinctive building can be found on the outskirts of the city centre. One of two stunning cathedrals in the city, the Catholic Cathedral is the result of Sir Frederick Gibberd's award-winning contemporary design of the 1960's. The structure is circular and almost rocket-like in appearance. During the day, the interior exudes a vivid display of light radiating through the magnificent colored glass panels. An impressive suspended metal construction symbolizing the crown of thorns hangs above the high altar. A bookshop is on site and guides are available. Admission is free.
