St. Anne's Cathedral in Belfast

 
St. Anne's Cathedral is the heart of the Cathedral Quarter.

Cathedral Quarter, Belfast
The work for its construction began in 1899 and continued for eighty years. The architectural style is Irish Romanic.

One of the most interesting things of this church is the marble labyrinth in the central area of the floor at the West End. Its single, non-branching path represents the journey of life. Following the white route (virtue) leads the pilgrim to the Altar, that is to the Salvation. However the black route leads nowhere.
