Largest and tallest building in Australia.
St Patrick’s Cathedral stands as the largest and the tallest church building in the whole of Australia and has been open as a place of worship since 1939. It is the cathedral church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne in Victoria, Australia, and also the seat of its archbishop. With sandstone and bluestone being the dominant feature of St Patrick’s Cathedral, this impressive church is at the forefront of what is known as Gothic-revival architecture.
In addition, this majestic church is built in the shape of a cross, and is both stunning and rich in history. Do spend some time to admire the magnificent pipe organ as well as the gorgeous stained-glass windows, which are guranteed to be a feast for your eyes. What a juxtaposition of the old (old world charms of St Patrick’s Cathedral) and the new (gleaming city skyline surrounding St Patrick’s Cathedral)!
