CATHEDRAL LIVERPOOL
It is the largest cathedral in the United Kingdom, and the fifth in the world! It's even in competition with the St. John the Divine of New York, for the first place of the Anglican churches… Its construction was completed only in 1978, after 74 years of work. Wars did not help, and the Luftwaffe gave it many damage. And yet its neo-Gothic look give it much older air. It is even a historic monument! The architect Sir Giles Gilbert Scott was only 23 years old when he drew the plans. And the prodigy has more than one icon to his assets: they also have the red telephone booths that are found throughout the country and right in the right wing of the building. Unfortunately, he died 18 years before the opening ceremony, where the Queen was present. Its 100-metre tower makes it the third largest building in Liverpool and its ascent provides breathtaking views over the entire city. Don't miss the monumental organ and beautiful stained glass windows. The free cathedrals are quite rare in England, so it would be foolish to deprive them of it…
