Description

St Anne’s Cathedral.

Built in imposing Hiberno-Romanesque style, St Anne’s Cathedral was started in 1899 but did not reach its final form until 1981. As you enter you’ll see that the black-and-white marble floor is laid out in a maze pattern – the black route leads to a dead end, the white to the sanctuary and salvation. The nave’s 10 pillars are topped by carvings symbolising aspects of Belfast life; look out for the Freemasons’ pillar (the central one on the south side).
