  On Church Street, between Cedar Avenue and Parliament Street. Considered the most imposing edifice in Bermuda, with no commercial or private building allowed to block a view of it. Built on the site of Trinity Church destroyed by an arsonist in the 1880s. Gothic in style and a masterpiece, it was designed by Scottish architect William Hay of Edinburgh (also responsible for Government House in Pembroke Parish) and built (work began in 1886) from a mix of Bermuda stone, Caen stone from France, Nova Scotia freestone and Scottish granite. It is the nearest Anglican or Episcopalian church for business or vacation visitors in parishes nearby and the setting for official ceremonies, state funerals and tasteful musical events. There is at least one Anglican church in every parish. All have details in the Saturday editions of daily newspapers. Admission to the Cathedral is free but for Monday-Saturday admission to its Cathedral Tower for city views from 10 am to 2 pm, there is a per-person charge. Tickets for the latter are from the Cathedral Shop. [http://bermuda-online.org/seecity.htm]
