Catholic Apostolic Church, Neo-Romanesque church in Broughton, Edinburgh, Scotland
The Catholic Apostolic Church features extensive ceiling murals painted by Phoebe Anna Traquair depicting biblical figures in rich colors and three-dimensional designs.
Built in the 1870s through funding from prosperous members, the church functioned as a religious center until 1958 when its last priest passed away.
The interior murals combine religious themes with artistic elements from the Arts and Crafts movement, representing a fusion of spiritual and aesthetic traditions.
The building now serves as a venue for performances and events, managed by the Mansfield Traquair Trust to preserve its architectural elements.
Following its religious closure, the structure temporarily operated as a nightclub called Café Graffiti during the 1990s before undergoing restoration work.
