I have taken many photos of this beautiful church over the years and looked inside but this time we bought a ticket to the downstairs crypt which I didn't know was here before. The history of Catholicism from the colonial days was very interesting and informative.

Well worth a visit. This beautiful cathedral has been maintained and restored to keep it looking amazing. The stained glass windows, mosaics, marble, brass rails and sandstone structure combine to make an unforgettable place of worship.

It is beautiful and stunning and having attended St Mary's Cathedral College in high school, I have been in it and seen it more times than I can count.

Beautiful architecture, and it looks just lovely on a sunny day. Inside you can see beautiful paintings and admire the carefully built cathedral, it's quite impressive.

What did I like about it? Our Divine Saviour is here in the Most Blessed sacrament. Also, check out the statue of Our Lady of Lorreto. Most unusual.

You will find St Mary's in a beautiful Park with Fountains. A lot of tourists walking in and around this Church. Worth a look

Well preserved, beautiful church!! It has such a great atmosphere, as a tourist the best thing to do is go to Mass rather than just look around, you will appreciate the architecture and art more. Located just on the outskirts of the CBD, so slightly more peaceful.

St. Mary's wouldn't look out of place in France or Belgium. Beautiful stain glass, interesting crypt and organs ($5 admission to Crypt Museum) and very peaceful and spiritual. All are welcome to visit, if you go during or around mass times you can hear the fabulous organ. check the windows, the artwork, the old baptismal font. Enjoy.
