St Patrick's Cathedral is the cathedral of the Catholic Church in Melbourne. St Parrick's is a neo-gothic Church, built mainly of bluestone, a favorite building material in the 19th century. St Patrick's was named for St Patrick, patron saint of Ireland. In days gone by, many Catholics in Melbourne had Irish ancestry.

I felt that this building has a strong presence. There are many kinds of stained glass inside and when you go to this place on a sunny day, you can see so beautiful glasses. Furthermore, as you proceed through the building, you can see a big stained glass window. This glass is the most beautiful I think. If you come to Melbourne, you should try to going to this building.

When construction of St Patrick's began in 1851, the majority of Catholics were of Irish origin. St Patrick's became the Melbourne Cathedral and a Minor Basilica. St Patrick remains the Patron Saint of Ireland. The Cathedral is now listed on the Victorian Heritage Registry. St Patrick's is built in Gothic Style, with solid bluestone used as the most prominent building material. St Patrick's is a feature of Eastern Hill, which is frequently used for religious functions.

This was one of two cathedrals we visited in Melbourne. The Albert St tram stop was right in front. The outside architecture was impressive and inside was beautiful as well. The intricate mosaics in the chapels surround the altar were one of the highlights of our visit.
