Teave

Kiired faktid: Suurbritannia suurim katedraal ja maailma pikim gooti katedraal ulatub 189 meetrit otsast otsani. Selle 101-meetrine kesktorn on Suurbritannia kõrgeim katedraalitorn, pakkudes selge ilmaga vaadet Mersey jõele ja Walesi mägedele.

Esiletõstmised: Vaadake tähelepanelikult tohutut keskset lühtrit: see on 10-tonnine meistriteos, mis on valmistatud sepistatud rauast ja kaetud tuhandete kristallpiiskadega, kujutades öötaeva tähti. Kunstnik sai tegelikult inspiratsiooni 1929. aasta täielikust päikesevarjutusest, mis oli nähtav katedraali trepilt, nii et kogu valgusti loob uuesti selle taevasündmuse metallis ja klaasis.

Sisekujunduse nõuanded

Skip the elevator to the tower and take the 108-step spiral staircase instead, you'll pass the bell-ringing chamber and see the massive bells up close.
The best photo spot is the western end looking east down the nave, where the repeating arches create a tunnel effect that draws the eye.
Visit the small chapel of the Holy Spirit on the south side, the embroidered kneelers there were hand-stitched by local community groups with different Liverpool landmarks.
Sunday services mean restricted visitor access until after 3pm, so plan your weekday visit to see the full space without ropes or barriers.
