The subtallest church should be extraordinary. Influenced by the Roman Catholic Church, it is a typical Renaissance Gothic building with three towering minarets above the church. It is said that the cathedral was designed by William Walder jqk William Wardell, a famous British architect, in 1863. It was officially opened in October 1897. The three minarets of the cathedral were completed in memory of the Catholic Church after nearly 80 years until 1939. It was built in Victoria for a hundred years. Entering the cathedral, the meticulous stained glass windows inside are very similar to the Cologne Cathedral, depicting the Bible and religious stories. The light is reflected through the stained glass windows to the dome, which is gorgeous and elegant. The huge marble pillars support the vault, showing extraordinary grace. Another point of view of the cathedral is a set of pipe organs and tall candlesticks on the altar, which are very gorgeous and beautiful. Walking to the church, there are two famous statues at the side door. On the left is Saint Catherine, a woman who took off the thorn circle she wore when Jesus was crucified. On the right, the statue of the saint in a monk's robe is the living Francisco. It is said that the mark of Saint Francisco is the only official mark recognized by the Holy See so far.
