Nice church, but much more recent than I was expecting. The area could use a little fixing up. But felt safe enough walking aroound.

Only built in 1907, this Cathedral belies its age. Lots of references to the troubles abound, but overall there is a sense of calm and peace. An interesting item is the list of those killed in the Kegworth aircrash at East Midlands Airport in 1989.
If you happen to be in Belfast and have an hour to spare, a visit to this lovely building is well worth while. Situated on the edge of the city centre, it is easy to find and I am sure you will not be dosappointed.
The Cathedral is full of light. This includes the light that shines down from the spire and the open doors. The stained glass windows are beautiful. It is truly wonderful to see this grand place of worship open once again.
I do like this building. People say they don't like the recent addition of a metal spire, but I don't mind that at all. On one wall outside there's a celtic cross that must be 100 feet tall. Inside are pillars with rounded arches, military flags, mosaics and many interesting things to see. At Christmas the famous "black santa" sits...

This building is a real gem . It is well worth a visit. I have attended a number of different events here I am always amazed at the work that was put into its construction
Even though not from that tradition was glad had a look at St Anne's... The volunteers (think they are such..) were very knowledgable and friendly...Look out for the metal addition on the roof which IS hard to miss....
yes visit was interesting walked round the cathedral looking at different points had some very interesting deco i would recomend this cathedral for a visit
The midnight Christmas service in here is nice and the cathedral is good to pop into and have a look around.
The best thing about our visit was the welcome we got. Five different people made a point of coming over to talk to us - we were shown extra items of interest. A spendid, although simple for a cathedral, place to sit and meditate. I felt guilty not staying for a service!
