St Mary's Cathedral, Perth
St Mary's Cathedral
Perth's Catholic cathedral, combining Gothic Revival architecture with a modern extension completed in 2009. Its stained glass windows are exquisite.
St Mary's Cathedral is the cathedral of the Catholic Archdiocese of Perth. Construction began in 1865, the Gothic Revival sanctuary was added in 1930, and a modern extension was completed in 2009, with the old and new sections blending seamlessly. The soaring interior is lit by beautiful stained glass windows, and the crypt beneath holds the remains of past archbishops. Admission is free, but please keep quiet during Mass. Located on Victoria Square, it is about a five-minute walk from the Perth Mint and can easily be visited together with it.
Opening hours
About 07:00–18:00 (no visits during Mass)
