St. Francis Xavier's Catholic Cathedral

City Center

A reminder of the religious tolerance espoused by the colony of South Australia, this Catholic church is the oldest cathedral in Australia. The Gothic revival structure includes a soaring nave, stone arches, side aisles with dark-wood ceilings, and beautiful stained-glass windows. For a self-guided tour, a useful free booklet called “19 minute Cathedral Tour” is available by the entrance.

St. Peter's Cathedral

North Adelaide

The spires and towers of this cathedral loom over adjacent Adelaide Oval and dramatically contrast with the nearby city skyline. St. Peter's is the epitome of Anglican architecture in Australia, and an important example of grand Gothic Revival. Free 45-minute guided tours are available Wednesday at 11 am.
