Explore Gothic Architecture in Australia | St. Patrick's Cathedral.

| St. Patrick's Cathedral. 🌈Gothic Cathedral in Melbourne St. Patrick's Cathedral in Melbourne is a Catholic church that officially opened in 1897. Although its history is not as long as some of the ancient cathedrals in Europe, it is one of Melbourne's landmarks and is known for having the tallest church spire in the Southern Hemisphere. The church's architecture is Gothic, making you feel like you've traveled back to medieval Europe. 🌈The Unique Charm of Gothic Architecture Gothic architecture is an art style that was popular in Europe from the 13th to 15th centuries, known for its dark and elegant characteristics. Gothic architecture is often associated with mysterious themes such as vampires and noble aristocrats. The black and gold color scheme of St. Patrick's Cathedral gives it a mysterious vampire castle vibe, and even when surrounded by the blue skies, white clouds, and green plants of a modern city, its unique Gothic style is still hard to miss. ❤My Visit Experience Although ancient architecture can be seen everywhere on the streets of Melbourne, St. Patrick's Cathedral stands out from afar with its height and shape. Once you enter the church grounds, it's like stepping into a quiet park. The church is open to visitors at specific times, but photography is usually not allowed inside, which made me respect its solemn atmosphere as a religious sanctuary. 📚The Unique Feeling of Traveling Alone I visited the church alone that day, and as someone who is fascinated by this type of architecture, I stayed there for over an hour. On one hand, I was waiting for the right light to take satisfactory photos, and on the other hand, I was reluctant to leave because of the church's tranquility and harmony. The freedom of traveling alone allowed me to enjoy this peace without worrying about others' time, and it became a precious memory of my trip.
