Sydney - St Mary's Cathedral

St Mary's Cathedral is a neo-Gothic building (1868-82) modeled on Lincoln Cathedral, with a façade in the style of Notre-Dame in Paris. The south towers are unfinished. The stained glass windows admit a subdued light to the interior. The site for a church was given to the first Roman Catholic clergy in Sydney by Governor Macquarie in 1821. Two earlier churches were destroyed by fire.
