Clifton Cathedral, Catholic cathedral in Clifton, Bristol, England
The hexagonal concrete structure features three spires and large glass panels that allow natural light to illuminate the spacious interior of the building.
The Percy Thomas Partnership designed this Grade II* listed cathedral, which opened in 1973 as a response to the growing Catholic community in Bristol.
The cathedral hosts the Clifton International Festival of Music, presenting concerts that take advantage of the structure's superior acoustic properties.
Regular mass services occur in the main hall, where the absence of supporting columns provides clear views of the sanctuary from every seat.
The cathedral incorporates red Aberdeen granite composite panels into its concrete exterior, creating a distinctive pattern across the modern surfaces.
