Church of St. Francis

  • Address: Elizabeth and Lonsdale Sts., City Center, Melbourne, Victoria | Map It
  • Phone: 03/9663-2496

Fodor's Review:

This 1841 Roman Catholic church was constructed when the city was barely a decade old. The simple, frugal design starkly contrasts with the Gothic exuberance of St. Paul's, built 40 years later. The difference illustrates just what the gold rush did for Melbourne.
