St Anne's Cathedral

This is one of the most famous buildings in Belfast, and well worth visiting. It succeeds a previous Parish Church, named after Anne, wife of the 5th Earl of Donegall.

The construction of this Protestant Cathedral was begun in 1898. It was consecrated in 1904, but various parts have been added since.

Here you can admire impressive mosaics and delightful stained-glass windows (some on Celtic themes), listen to one of Ireland's largest church organs... The Cathedral also has the largest Celtic Cross in Ireland.

The Cathedral Choir sings on Sunday at 11am and 3.30pm (excluding July and August).

Address: Cathedral Quarter, Donegall Street

Directions: Metro 1A-G, 2A-F, 57, 61, 64
