St Mary's Cathedral Basilica in Halifax was built between 1820 and 1899 and is a designated National Historic Site for its role in the religious history of Nova Scoitia. The spire, erected in 1874, stands 189 feet from base to cross and has long been a landmark in Halifax.
The cathedral has withstood the Halifax explosion, although the stained glass windows were largely blown out and redone, and a fire in 1983.
Located within the Cathedral is a small religious museum.
