It is worth climbing up the hill to see this imposing Cathedral on the inside, and to see its community at prayer. At 8 a.m. Mass on a Monday morning there were more men than women among the 200 or so people there. There had already been a Mass at 6.30 a.m. that day, as the community were hosting a... More

Holds a commanding view on the skyline. Visitors are welcome to view this beautiful Roman Catholic Cathederal. Masses are frequent and you can spend time looking st the wonderful stain glass windows. The altar has been modrrnised but is very tasteful

We attended Easter Sunday mass at 12 noon, what a spectacular historical building. The cathedral was surprisingly warm and comfortable on such a bitterly cold morning and the whole experience was very spiritual.

I liked its location on the rising hills. From here one can see the city below, especially the west wall of the city. The high vaulted city has magnificent acoustics. It is worth while to visit when there is a service and the choir is singing. The vigil Mass at Christmas was an exceptional experience.
