Hobart Churches and Cathedrals

(Hobart, Tasmania - TAS, Australia)



Hobart ChurchesMany of Hobart's churches were built during the mid-19th century and early colonial times, and remain in fine condition. Particularly striking is St. David's Cathedral on Macquarie Street, which is located just a couple of blocks away from Parliament Square, Sullivans Cove and the Franklin Wharf.

Located only a few blocks to the west of St. David's is St. Mary's Cathedral, which resides alongside St. Mary's College and is near to a number of additional colleges. Constructed in the 1860s, the actual building work was of a fairly poor standard, resulting in the need for much repair and renovation work over the subsequent decades. Caldew Park, the West Hobart Recreation Ground and the Village 7 Cinema Complex are all just a short walk away.
