Perth Churches and Cathedrals

(Perth, Western Australia - WA, Australia)

Perth is a city with many imposing churches and religious buildings. There are no less than two cathedrals in this city, with Roman Catholic St. Mary's being the oldest and thoroughly restored as recently as 2010.

Just minutes away from St. Mary's and to the south-west is St. George's Cathedral, which functions as Perth's main Anglican church and stands alongside the Government House, being close to the Supreme Court Gardens, the Alf Curlewis Gardens and the May Holman Centre. During the Meckering earthquake of 1968 the bell tower suffered structural damage and as a result of this, much earthquake protection and bracing work has been incorporated within the overall structure.
