Wellington Cathedral of St Paul is a bold example of mid-20th-century ecclesiastical design, built between 1955 and 2004. Its angular concrete structure and soaring spire dominate the city skyline. Inside, the cathedral is flooded with light from extensive stained-glass windows, including the dramatic 'Creation Window' and the 'Rose Window'. The interior features a massive pipe organ, intricate wood carvings, and a peaceful chapel. Visitors can attend services, enjoy lunchtime concerts, or simply admire the blend of modern art and sacred space.
