St Andrew's Cathedral

Why go

The present church replaced an earlier building damaged by lightning and declared unsafe. Its spire and Gothic form make a clear contrast with the classical civic buildings nearby; inside, the nave gives a different sense of scale and calm when visitor access permits.

What to look for

• The white exterior stands out among the Civic District's classical buildings.
• The spire recalls the earlier church's troubled history.
• The nave provides the building's strongest interior view.

Useful to know

• Check the cathedral's service and event schedule before entering, and keep the visit quiet if worship is under way.
