Glasgow Cathedral
Address: Castle Street,Glasgow, G4 0QZ.
Tel: 0141 552 6891
Although this had been a Christian site for well over a millennium, the stone building also known as St.Mungo's (the cities' patron Saint) was consecrated in the presence of King David I in 1136 and additions were made to the building over the next 300 years.
Glasgow Cathedral lies directly next to other attractions such as Provand's Lordship (the second oldest building in Glasgow) and St. Mungo's Museum of Religious Life and Art and despite it's medieval structure is positioned short walking distance from the heart of the modern shopping districts of the city centre.
Admission to the Cathedral is free, and guided tours are available as
well as recitals and lectures. It was declared in 1451 by the Pope that
a pilgrimage the Glasgow Cathedral held the same merit as one to Rome
and as a founding piece in Scotland's as well as Glasgow's long history
it is unsurprisingly heralded as a integral part of any visit to Glasgow.
