Day +2252 : Melbourne Retreat - St Paul's Cathedral

I am fine today.

St Paul's Cathedral is the metropolitical and cathedral church of the Anglican Diocese of Melbourne, Victoria in Australia. It is a landmark of Melbourne.

The foundation stone was laid in 1880 and the cathedral was consecrated in 1891. The architectural style of the cathedral is know as Gothic transitional, something ancient thing to us, but if you would like to find out the detail, Wikipedia described in length what it is all about.

Apart from the unique style of the building, what attracted me was the huge pipe organ which I accidentally discovered. Since the instrument is very uncommon today, I believe not many notices this instrument which just seems to be a part of the building.

To be continued and see you next post :-)
