Arrived as a musical recital was taking place - organ & violin. A great bonus. Enjoyed sitting & listening as we took in the features of the Cathedral.

Spent a very interesting hour looking round this interesting church. Lots of history & a very helpful clergy. Worth a visit if you're in Belfast.

A place for quiet contemplation. This is one of the landmark features of the City and has had the recent addition of a magnificent spire. Interesting place.

Nice church, but much more recent than I was expecting. The area could use a little fixing up. But felt safe enough walking aroound.

Only built in 1907, this Cathedral belies its age. Lots of references to the troubles abound, but overall there is a sense of calm and peace. An interesting item is the list of those killed in the Kegworth aircrash at East Midlands Airport in 1989.

If you happen to be in Belfast and have an hour to spare, a visit to this lovely building is well worth while. Situated on the edge of the city centre, it is easy to find and I am sure you will not be dosappointed.

The Cathedral is full of light. This includes the light that shines down from the spire and the open doors. The stained glass windows are beautiful. It is truly wonderful to see this grand place of worship open once again.

I do like this building. People say they don't like the recent addition of a metal spire, but I don't mind that at all. On one wall outside there's a celtic cross that must be 100 feet tall. Inside are pillars with rounded arches, military flags, mosaics and many interesting things to see. At Christmas the famous "black santa" sits... More
