Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Metropolitan Cathedral built at the end of the 20th century is a unique religious building, because its appearance is fundamentally different from the traditional Catholic church in the eyes of ordinary people. This is a cathedral with a modern circular building appearance, built with reinforced concrete and Portland stone, decorated with stained glass, and exudes a modern and alternative temperament from the inside out. But maybe it's too special, many people disagree, and the cathedral is also known as "the Irishman's humble cottage". The design of the Metropolitan Cathedral was based on the scheme of Frederick Gibbard, the winner of the 1960 World Class Design Competition. The foundation stone was laid in 1962 and it took five years to complete. The entire church is a conical structure surrounded by 13 chapels. The church music played in the church is also very special. It breaks the tradition and is full of avant-garde and lively rhythm. The pulpit is in the center of the rotunda, and the surrounding seats are close to it, and the pulpit is just below the conical spire. The glass skylight on the spire is also beautifully painted. The sun shines down, it is gorgeous and soft, and it looks particularly holy and beautiful. The Metropolitan Cathedral is very close to Liverpool Cathedral, and tourists who want to experience traditional church culture may wish to go there.

The Metropolitan Cathedral is a very grand local church. The whole building is in a three-dimensional shape. The appearance of the identification line is very high. You can see the things here from a long distance. [Fun] It is interesting here [Cost-effective] The price is also very high.
The Metropolitan Cathedral, this cathedral is quite strange, neither a Gothic church nor a Baroque church, but a strange design, but it is quite good.
This church looks beautiful, looks like hot pot, is called hot pot church by many people, the inside is also very beautiful, no need to make an appointment to enter for free
Very modern design, with a silver appearance and a central thorny circular roof. Once you step into the church, you can see the bright colors of the inner hall. If there is sunlight shining through stained glass at this time, there will be red, blue, green, purple and other different shadows, plus the internal metal decoration, the effect is extraordinary.
The concrete-covered church looks like a pyramid from the outside. When it was built decades ago, many Liverpool residents and tourists were shocked, but it is now the 21st century, the church and the modern city are still very well matched, and its interior is very beautiful, The color of the glass window is very beautiful, and the 360-degree view inside is very special. There is music in the church, we heard one at the time, but we didn't like it very much.
Be sure to go down to Clypt, which has the world's longest Barrel roof, the dome of solitary architecture, and the perfect stress structure. Tour guide Tommy is a very lovely grandfather, 73 years old, and his explanation is very vivid and conscientious.
