Introduction of St. Peter's Cathedral in Adelaide

St Peter's Cathedral stands on the north bank of Dorenz River, which is the most famous scenic spot in Adelaide.

Don't be surprised. That's the name. The overbearing one has the same name as St. Peter's Cathedral in the Vatican. At first glance, its facade looks like Westminster Abbey in London, England, and a bit like Notre Dame de Paris, except that there are two minarets at the top of the bell tower (in fact, Notre Dame de Paris also wanted to build the bell tower into a pointed one when it was originally designed, but it was only because there was no money that it was built into a flat top).

1869, Bishop Augustus Short of Westminster Abbey in London laid the foundation stone for this church which took 40 years to build. He belongs to the same design team as Melbourne church, so he retains the French Gothic architectural style. It is the most distinctive Gothic church in Australia and the cathedral in South Australia. Much like the gate of Notre Dame de Paris, the sculptures are layered on top of each other, and the circular stained glass windows on the gate depict vivid biblical stories.

Although it is not comparable to the century-old history of European churches, St. Peter's Cathedral also condenses the history of South Australia from ancient times to the present. Compared with the years in European churches, the interior of St. Peter's church is more solemn and elegant and belongs to the church.

If you have a chance to come to Australia, you must visit St. Peter's Cathedral. This building has its own characteristics, a long history and beautiful surrounding scenery. Don't miss it!
