I haven’t been inside Saint Mary’s Cathedral, but I pass by it often enough to appreciate its presence. It’s a striking building, standing tall and proud right in the heart of the city. The Gothic architecture is impressive, with those spires and detailed stonework catching the eye every time.nnEven just from outside, it feels like a quiet reminder of history and tradition amid the busy city streets. It’s one of those landmarks you don’t need to enter to respect. Just walking past, it adds a bit of calm and a connection to Sydney’s past.
A Stunning First ExperiencennSt Mary’s Cathedral was the first cathedral I had ever visited — until then, I had only seen such places in movies. Stepping inside was an awe-inspiring experience. The architecture is absolutely stunning, with intricate details that left me amazed. Every corner of the building reflects craftsmanship, history, and a deep sense of reverence.nnThe peaceful atmosphere inside was moving, and the towering ceilings, stained glass windows, and gothic design made it feel like stepping into a different world. It's not just a place of worship but a true work of art.
Simply breathtaking! A great example of Gothic Revival architecture in the heart of Sydney! The intricate stained glass windows and vaulted ceilings are truly mesmerizing. A peaceful sanctuary amidst the city’s hustle—perfect for reflection or simply appreciating its historical beauty! A must-visit spot in Sydney!
Enchanting and awe-inspiring!nnI was absolutely captivated by the magnificent architecture and intricate artwork.nnVisiting during the Christmas season added a special charm — nativity displays adorned both the interior and exterior of the cathedral.nnThe cathedral itself is a serene and sacred space — perfect for quiet reflection, prayer, attending services, or celebrating joyful moments like weddings.nnFor convenience, there are paid parking garages nearby. Since our hotel was close, we enjoyed a pleasant walk to the cathedral.nnDuring Christmas, the area outside the cathedral comes alive with food stalls and twinkling festive lights.nnI highly recommend a visit!
Absolutely beautiful cathedral. Very apostolic, the priest presiding at the time Fr Ben was so reverent.nnThe cathedral had many seats and I'm sure during the later masses with music on it would be an extraordinary experience. Only downside is they don't let you take photos of any of the amazing statues and altars they have inside besides the main one.nnUnderstandably this is a very devout and reverent church so that's understandable.
