About	St Patrick's Cathedral is one of the famous Churches in Melbourne. The church is built on a traditional east-west axis which symbolizes the belief in the resurrection. The church is constructed with side aisles, a sanctuary with seven chapels, and sacristies. By 1851, an architect was commissioned for the construction of the church building. The foundation was laid, and the church's construction and its additional buildings were completed in 1939. St Patrick's Cathedral is said to be one of the architectural glories of Melbourne. It is situated on the fringe of the city grid, close enough to the heart of Melbourne to be a powerful presence & breathe with a life of its own. The church maintains its traditional role as the principal church of the archdiocese and the centre of Catholic life. St Patrick's Cathedral has undergone multiple restorations, and the cathedral's pipe organ was installed in the late 1870s, which is still used for the choir.
