Australia's largest provincial church, and the last Gothic cathedral to be completed in Victoria. The nave was built in 1896-1901 to the design of Reed Smart & Tappin in the Decorated Gothic style, and transepts, sanctuary and chapels added in 1954-77. The site is dramatic, with the west window by Hardman of Birmingham. The twentieth century work was largely executed by sixteen craftsmen, most of whom were Italians brought to Australia for the purpose.
