Truro Cathedral, Anglican cathedral in Truro, England
The cathedral features three tall spires reaching 76 meters for the central tower and 61 meters for the western towers, constructed with Mabe granite exterior.
Construction began in 1880 under architect John Loughborough Pearson, marking the first Anglican cathedral built on a new site in England since Salisbury Cathedral.
The cathedral maintains a musical tradition with twelve adult singers, eighteen choristers, and a Father Willis organ installed in 1887.
The cathedral remains open for visitors throughout the year, offering guided tours and regular worship services in the Gothic Revival building.
Ten bells cast in 1909 create the musical foundation of the cathedral's bell system, with additional bells added in 2011 to expand the range.
