Metropolitan Cathedral
The Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King, located on Mount Pleasant to the east of the city centre, is Liverpool's Roman Catholic cathedral. Building began on the Cathedral in 1962 and was completed less than five years later in 1967. Inside the coloured stained glass of the windows produce a multitude of beautiful and dramatic effects. The interior is simple and undecorated for a cathedral but very striking.
St. Georges Hall
Welcome to St George's Hall, Liverpool, the finest neo-classical building in Europe. Completed in 1854, St George's Hall represents the prosperity in Liverpool in the 19th century. Built as law courts and as a venue for music festivals, the Hall stands at the heart of the City - both geographically and emotionally. The Grade I listed building boasts a Great Hall with a Minton tiled floor, a Willis Organ and vaulted ceiling.
Royal Liver Building
Without doubt the most characteristic image of Liverpool is the Royal Liver Building. Completed in 1911 having taken three years to build. Designed by W. Aubrey Thomas the building supports two sculptural domed clock towers surmounted by the mythical Liver Birds. The clocks are 2 foot wider in diameter than that of Big Ben.
