Saint Patrick's Basilica More Info
|
+ My Favorites
Ottawa's first English-speaking Roman Catholic Church, St Patrick's has long been a part of the city's history. Found in 1855 and determined a basilica in 1995, the church holds regular mass and services. The church was first designed by the same architect who designed the east and west blocks of the Parliament Buildings. While the outside, with a large protruding spire and many arched doors, is impressive, the inside is a stunning gothic style and constructed entirely of local stone. Shamrocks are subtley built into the design in unusual places. Solid oak pews, stained glass, stencilled dome ceiling and more make this church a traditional beauty.
