Magnificent and grand in scale, with a solemn and dignified interior, this stands on the site of Sydney's first Catholic church.
From the windows to the roof, every brick and tile shows exquisite craftsmanship.
People pray inside the cathedral, and upon entering, you can feel an immediate sense of spiritual tranquility.
