St Patrick's Cathedral is a monumental bluestone Gothic Revival cathedral on Eastern Hill, among the largest churches in Australia and a masterpiece of 19th-century design. Its soaring nave, spires and stained glass reward a quiet visit, and the leafy grounds sit beside Fitzroy Gardens. As a working Catholic cathedral, access is limited during Mass and events.
