St Joseph's Cathedral, Catholic cathedral in Greenhill, Swansea, Wales.
The cathedral features a polygonal tower with a spire, twin porches on the western facade, and a seven-bay aisled nave with clerestory windows.
Peter Paul Pugin designed the cathedral, which opened in 1888 and gained its Grade II listed status in 1987 when it became the seat of Menevia.
The cathedral interior displays carved music-playing angels in the arch spandrels and contains figures of St Patrick and St Benedict in stone niches.
The cathedral underwent substantial renovations including roof replacement, complete repointing, and structural reinforcement to maintain its preservation status.
The cathedral contains an organ from Lord Petre's Woburn and Stations of the Cross acquired from Antwerp through a dedicated fundraising campaign.
