The city is home to two incredible cathedrals, both of which are prominent figures in Liverpool’s skyline. Whether you consider yourself a religious person or not, the cathedrals are worth checking out for their magnificent architecture alone. The Metropolitan Cathedral is the more modern of the two and has been nicknamed by locals as ‘Paddy’s Wigwam’ due to its unique design.
