St. Patrick's Church and across the street

Vincentian Cathedral

gargoyle needs a haircut

you knew there was going to be a tower shot

side

side chapel with glorious fan vaulting

delicate metalwork (behind main altar)

floor mosaic


ambulatory



No longer remember what town this was in. It was a Vincentian cathedral that gave the impression of being old but I suspect it was built mid-century.
late entries because of finals.

at first glance I thought this was a clock but instead it's a wind direction dial?
