St Georges Cathedral

Desmond Tutu’s old stomping ground.

This Cathedral is beautiful inside and out. Short and sweet this one, Cathedrals explain themselves…

The outside is a different stone that used elsewhere in Cape Town, it sticks out and yet with being surrounded by trees it settles perfectly into the background.

Located on Wale St, opposite St Georges Mall, it is a hard place to miss.

The stained glass shines lights on the stone floor, the colours are vibrant. The pictures can not to this place of peace justice. I love how quiet it is. There was no one there. Other than a few maintenance individuals or caretakers it was empty. So I lit a candle and just enjoy the silence and ambience.

It is definitely a worthwhile stop in Cape Town – even has a a restaurant/bar called the Crypt underneath it. With live Jazz it is one of the more popular places to visit on an evening. Although i haven’t been – I have heard stories from locals.
