Belfast Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral Church of St. Anne, has stood for over 100 years as a place of Christian worship in the heart of Belfast. The foundation stone of the Cathedral was laid in 1899 and the building itself, Romanesque in style, continued to grow over the years. The 40 metre stainless steel Spire of Hope was added in 2007. The Cathedral contains detailed mosaics by the sisters Gertrude and Margaret Martin, elaborately carved stonework by sculptors Rosamond Praeger, Morris Harding and Esmond Burton, beautiful stained glass windows and more. The Chapel of the Holy Spirit is free to visit for quiet prayer. Our admission prices for self-guided tours includes a Visitors Guide or Audio Guide, which is available in 8 languages. Guided Tours with our experienced Volunteer Tour Guides are subject to availability, Monday to Saturday. Larger groups are asked to contact the Cathedral in advance of their visit.

We came across this towering cathedral while exploring the central part of Belfast on foot, towards the end of our one day visit to the city. Because our time was somewhat limited, we baulked at paying the £5 admission fee to view the interior of the cathedral. Instead we made do with viewing this impressive cathedral from outside. Whilst it certainly was not the most magnificent cathedral that we had ever seen, it has some outstanding architectural features which give it a certain unique charm. After spending 10 minutes or so admiring the cathedral from various angles and snapping a few photos, it was time for us to move on. It is certainly worth spending a few minutes to view this cathedral, if you happen to be in central Belfast. Most likely a visit to view the interior would also be worthwhile!
