Medak Cathedral

The cathedral features a 175-foot central tower, Gothic revival architecture, intricate stained glass windows, and a nave capable of holding 5,000 worshippers.

Construction began in 1914 under Reverend Charles Walker Posnett during a famine period, employing local workers instead of providing free meals.

The cathedral integrates British Gothic and Indian architectural elements, with stained glass windows depicting biblical scenes and mosaic tiles crafted by Italian artisans.

The cathedral remains open to visitors throughout the day, with local guides providing information about its architecture and religious importance in multiple languages.

The cathedral's ceiling incorporates specialized sound-proofing techniques and features detailed vaulting structures that demonstrate advanced engineering methods of the 1920s.
