St Mary's Cathedral

St Mary's Cathedral is the principal Roman Catholic cathedral in Perth, located on Victoria Square east of the central business district in Western Australia. Built in Gothic Revival style, the original church was constructed between 1863 and 1865 and substantially expanded between 2006 and 2009. It serves as the mother church of the Archdiocese of Perth. Notable for its stone facade, vaulted interior, stained-glass windows and landscaped grounds, it is a prominent heritage and religious landmark in the city.

Visitors can expect a large Gothic Revival cathedral set on Victoria Square with landscaped gardens and forecourt. Inside, the nave features vaulted ceilings, stone columns, stained-glass windows, timber pews, altar and side chapels. The crypt and undercroft exhibition space display heritage items. The grounds offer views of the cathedral's twin spires and stonework. Visitors can explore the interior at leisure, attend Mass, take guided tours when available, and photograph the exterior and interior outside service times.
