This neo-Gothic twin-spired Cathedral off Falls Road was built in 1866 for the city's increasing Catholic population. The building was designed in 1860 by Father Jeremiah McAuley, a trained Belfast architect prior to entering Orders, and completed in 1866. Its magnificent twin spires were added in 1886 and dominate West Belfast's skyline. The tower holds a carillon of 11 bells and, following major restoration, the cathedral now boasts fine examples of high Victorian Gothic decoration.
