"When the Princes Dock tower is completed, it will slot into third in the list of Liverpool’s tallest structures, which is currently occupied by the Liverpool Cathedral. The Anglican Cathedral stands at 101 metres tall (331ft) - thanks to its beautiful bell tower, which visitors can go up and take in a stunning view of the city."

"If you are into your architecture then there are plenty of things to explore in and around the cathedral. There are numerous stain glass windows which can make for some really bright and colourful photos. It is quite dark at some points inside, so you may need a tripod if you're going to be using a slower shutter speed."

"Manchester Cathedral has undergone extensive restoration works, both in the Victorian era and in recent years, following damage from the 1996 IRA bombing of the city centre.

The main body of this Gothic cathedral was originally constructed in the late 15th century, overseen by church warden James Stanley."

"One of Manchester’s oldest buildings, the cathedral is a must-see for anyone with an interest in architecture. Wander around at your own pace, book onto a tour to find out more about the building’s history or keep your eyes peeled for news of one of the occasional gigs hosted inside the cathedral."

"Right next to the Football Museum, you can find the beautiful Manchester Cathedral. While I have as much with churches as I have with football, I did have a quick look inside and the architecture was beautiful:"

Building began in 1928, although it wasn't actually completed until 1967."

"If nothing else, the striking design of this cathedral makes it a rather unique attraction to visit. Though the history of this cathedral is more contemporary than that of its sister venue at the other end of Hope Street, its gothic-revival architectural style makes it a standout feature of Liverpool’s skyline."

"One of Europe’s finest Neoclassical buildings, St. George’s Hall is a monument to the wealth and civic aspirations of a great commercial city in the 19th century. Liverpool continued to thrive and expand in this period, despite its trade in enslaved people having been ended in 1807, yet its citizens were increasingly aware that it was lagging behind in cultural matters. A competition was held in 1839 for a public hall for meetings, concerts, and dinners, and it was won by 25-year-old Harvey Lonsdale Elmes, who shortly afterward won a separate competition for the new courts of law."

"The façade of St. George's Hall on Brown Street is festooned with Corinthian columns and statues. Its sumptuously decorated Great Hall, boasting one of the world's largest organs, is often used for concerts. To the rear of the building, the splendid St. John's Gardens feature statues of prominent Liverpudlians."

"Chester Cathedral is a Church of England cathedral built on Anglo-Saxon foundations dating back to the year 907.

"A glorious sister venue to London's Natural History Museum (both designed by Liverpool-born architect Alfred Waterhouse), it's worth a visit to the University of Liverpool's gallery and museum for its exterior alone. The Grade II-listed building's gothic terracotta design led to the coining of the term "red-brick" university and is a shining example of Victorian prowess; more so now after a recent £8.6m refurb. Expect a really creepy museum (fossils, taxidermy, skeletons and curios from the university's 130-year history), a special collections gallery (including the largest display of paintings and prints by wildlife artist John James Audubon outside the US), and a regularly revolving programme of contemporary art exhibitions."

"The Victoria Gallery & Museum is run by the University of Liverpool. The building itself is a beautiful, classic red brick Liverpool building and boasts many stunning weddings. The exhibitions range from the weird (false teeth) to the wonderful, and it is definitely worth a visit."
