St David's Cathedral

St David's Cathedral is the principal Anglican cathedral in Hobart, Tasmania, located on Murray Street in the city centre. Built in Gothic Revival style between 1868 and 1936, it serves as the mother church of the Anglican Diocese of Tasmania. Notable for its sandstone exterior, stained-glass windows, historic organ and Bodley-designed nave, it functions as both a place of worship and a heritage landmark near Salamanca and the waterfront.

The interior includes choir stalls, chapels, and exhibition displays on history. The cathedral sits on Murray Street near Franklin Square, surrounded by heritage civic buildings. Visitors can explore the nave, view architecture and artworks, attend choral services or organ recitals when scheduled, and visit the small shop area.
