Cardiff's "other" cathedral (it is often overshadowed by the more famous Llandaff Cathedral) St. David's was built as a Catholic church in 1887. It became a cathedral and seat of the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Cardiff in 1916. After being damaged by bombing in 1941, the cathedral was restored during the 1950s and is now the focal point for the Catholic faith in Cardiff, its stone towers rising above the shops and offices of the area. A notable feature inside is the organ, built by "Father" Henry Willis, who also built the organs at the Royal Albert Hall and St Paul's Cathedral. Sunday Mass is celebrated at 11a. The church is open for prayer at other times, and visitors are welcome to come in and have a look around.
