Charlottetown - St Dunstan's Basilica

To the south of Province House on the corner of Great George Street and Richmond Street in Charlottetown stands St Dunstan's Basilica, built at the end of the 19th c. in the Neo-Gothic style, the seat of the Roman Catholic diocese of the province. It is one of the largest buildings of its kind in eastern Canada and famed for its altar with its beautiful Italian carving and a superb rose window.

A walk along Richmond Street and Kent Street to its north with their gabled houses and extensive parks and gardens provides an impressive reminder of Charlottetown's Victorian heritage.
