 Cardiff's other cathedral |
38 Charles Street Cardiff CF10 2SF United Kingdom +44 29 2023 1407 http://www.cardiffmetropolitan... |
Cardiff's "other" cathedral (it is often overshadowed by the more famous Llandaff Cathedral) St. David's was built as a Catholic church in 1887. It became a cathedral and seat of the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Cardiff in 1916. After being damaged by bombing in 1941, the cathedral was restored during the 1950s and is now the focal point for the Catholic faith in Cardiff, its stone towers rising above the shops and offices of the area. A notable feature inside is the organ, built by "Father" Henry Willis, who also built the organs at the Royal Albert Hall and St Paul's Cathedral. Sunday Mass is celebrated at 11a. The church is open for prayer at other times, and visitors are welcome to come in and have a look around. Review © 2007, Wcities |
 Medieval cathedral |
The Cathedral Green Llandaff Cardiff CF5 2LA United Kingdom +44 29 2056 4554 http://www.llandaffcathedral.o... |
This small but impressive cathedral takes its name from the River Taff. The dominant feature is the aluminium "Christ in Majesty" sculpture completed by Epstein in the 1950's, a modern structure that presents a striking against contrast Gothic arches and columns. Sunday Eucharist and evensong are at 9a and 6:30p respectively. There is a full programme of services, concerts and events throughout the week, and the cathedral is open to visitors.

City-centre haven |
16 Queen Anne Square Cardiff CF10 3ED United Kingdom +44 29 2022 0375 http://www.cardiffcentralparis... |
A haven of tranquillity in the middle of Cardiff's busiest shopping area, this church dates back to the 12th century (although most of the present building is late 15th-century), and it still plays an important part in the life of the city today. The church tower was renovated in 1897. With magnificent views over the city, it features a minstrel's gallery and a set of ten bells. Inside the main part of the building, you can enjoy the stained glass windows (some of which are almost 200 years old), a carved oak screen and the pipes of a 19th-century organ. The tea shop is open most days. There is only disabled access to the main part of the church. Review © 2007, Wcities |
