This is St Peters Cathedral, the head place of worship of the Anglican Church in Adelaide.Last year we travelled to France and saw many beautiful churches and other old buildings. Whilst this cathedral is not as large or as old as the Notre Dames in Paris and Lyon, it is none the less a significant and beautiful building.
The first stone was laid in 1869 and the cathedral was officially opened in 1904. Architect Edward John Woods used plans purchased from William Butterfield of England. Wood's work was influenced by French Gothic architecture; there are features similar to the Notre Dame in Paris.
Tomorrow I will post a view of the inside of the cathedral.
