Cathedrals: ROMAN CATHOLIC METROPOLITAN CATHEDRAL

    I thought that Liverpool's Anglican Cathedral was the ugliest church I'd ever seen. Just for a short while though. When I saw the Catholic Cathedral I knew that it could be worse ;)

    I love modern architecture - but I don't like modern churches at all - especially this one! I think the designer should be shot actually ;)

    Everybody claims that it looks nice from the inside but I refused to go and have a look.

    The RC cathedral is a wonderful modern building - and they have fixed the roof now, but are currently expanding the shop and refectory area. Lovely people inside - the woman who works in the shop was a really helpful and friendly person!

    Cathedrals: Catholic Cathedral
  • Tip Rating:
  • Well, if Sabs thought the Anglican was the ugliest cathedral in the world, her opinion changed when she saw the Catholic. She thought that's even worse, possibly the worst in the world. (That opinion changed later when I showed her the church in Bowburn, Co. Durham).
    I like it - for a modern building it's not bad at all, and it's even better from inside (IMO - Sabs wouldn't even come in).

    Cathedrals: Liverpool Anglican Cathedral
  • Tip Rating:
  • Liverpool Anglican Cathedral is a must see when in Liverpool, on my most recent visit, I learned that it is only just over 100 years old. It looks like it's been there forever. So impressive, both inside and out. The massive main hall and other rooms are so well built and are a photographers dream. They have regular services here and the timetable is on the website (see below). Admission is free but a recommeded donation of £3 is most welcome. Plenty of toilets inside and they also have a restaurant and shop.

    Cathedrals: Metropolitan Cathedral
  • Tip Rating:
  • Another Cathedral?

    Yes,

    This one is a Roman Catholic cathederal - from the outside it doesn't have an ordinary catholic shape, however, inside it's beatiful, all the multicoloured glass let pass through the sun light and all inside is painted in so nice colourse, believe me, it's a nice expirience. Take a look to my second photograph.

    Admission is free

    If Cathedrals are your Thing - Then Liverpool has got a treat in store for you.
    We have the Anglican Cathedral. where you get great views of the City and local area from the Top.
    and we have the Catholic Cathedral known locally as Paddy's Wigwam... for obvious reasons... 'if you haven't got it yet....? its down to the shape.

  • Address: Find Hope Street and you will see them both
  • Directions: Just off the City centre, you really cant miss them.

    Cathedrals: Metropolitan Cathedral
  • Tip Rating:
  • The building that looks like a rocket which is ready to take off is Liverpool's Metropolitan Cathedral. Located on a hill, similar to Liverpool Cathedral, it is also visible from most parts of the city. Built from 1962 to 1967, the cathedral serves as the mother church for Liverpool's Catholic population. There's a large Catholic community due to Irish immigration in the last two centuries. Almost 2/3 of Liverpudlians are said to have an Irish background.
    Well, back to the Cathedral. As the building looks like a rocket from the outside, I was curious what would await me inside. It's a large circular room with coloured windows that scarcely light the church. There's space for 2300 worshipers who sit on chairs in the middle of the room, surrounding the altar. Everything looks rather cold and functional, an impression that is underlined by the giant dimensions of the cathedral. I didn't really like the church - but others from our group were quite impressed.
    Open from 8am to 6pm.

    Cathedrals: Gothic Arches
  • Tip Rating:
  • Its quite dark inside the Cathedral - but nore beautiful than its exterior.
    Hope this gives you an idea of the height of those arches and at the far end is the ornate high altar.

    Miraculously the cathedral escaped almost unscathed during the two world wars - one bomb penetrated the roof space.
    The interior has many beautiful stained glass windows to admire.

    Cathedrals: Hillsborough Memorial
  • Tip Rating:
  • The Anglican cathedral has a memorial to the Hillsborough football disaster just outside. Seeing the flowes here is always a poignant reminder of the tragic loss suffered.
