St Anne's Cathedral, also known as Belfast Cathedral, is a prominent church located in the heart of Belfast, Northern Ireland. Dedicated to Saint Anne, the mother of the Virgin Mary, the cathedral serves as the focal point of the Cathedral Quarter, a vibrant cultural and arts district. The construction of the cathedral began in 1899 and continued over several decades, resulting in a unique mix of architectural styles, primarily Romanesque Revival with later Gothic elements. The building features impressive mosaics, beautiful stained glass windows, and intricate carvings. One of its most notable features is the Spire of Hope, added in 2007, which stands 40 meters tall and symbolizes peace and reconciliation.
