Frommer's Review
This Anglican cathedral, which is reflected in the shiny exterior of the pink-glassed postmodern Tour KPMG office tower, stands in glorious Gothic contrast to the city's downtown skyscrapers. Sometimes called the "floating cathedral" because of the many tiers of malls and corridors in the underground city beneath it and the way it was elevated during their construction, the building was completed in 1859. The original steeple was too heavy for the structure and replaced by a lighter aluminum version in 1940. The choirs of the cathedral offer music each Sunday at 10am and at Choral Evensong at 4pm, live and broadcast over the Internet. The church also hosts concerts throughout the year.
