St. Mary's Cathedral Basilica
Look for the tall Gothic Revival presence of St. Mary's on Barrington Street, with a short interior visit possible around the cathedral's worship and access arrangements.
The cathedral adds a different architectural language to the downtown streetscape: pointed forms, stone details and a strongly vertical silhouette. Inside, stained glass and the sanctuary reward closer inspection when the building welcomes visitors. It is especially useful for travellers comparing Halifax's religious buildings, but a sightseeing stop should always yield to services and private prayer.
