St Peter's Cathedral
The Gothic Revival Anglican cathedral in North Adelaide. Its twin spires face the stadium across the river and make a classic image of the city skyline.
Construction of the cathedral began in 1869. The main body and spires were completed in the early 20th century. It has one of Australia's most ornate rose windows and carved altar screens, and its organ and bells are famous. Entry is free, but please keep quiet during services. The cathedral sits north of Adelaide Oval. You can photograph the full view of the twin spires from Elder Park across the river or from the stadium's pedestrian bridge.
