Located on the Mahatma Gandhi Road - a very popular commercial
hub of Bangalore, St Marks cathedral was built in 1812 and was
consecrated in 1816 by bishop of Calcutta. The famous monumental
cathedral was further expanded and rebuilt in 1927, which heightens
the glory of this historical cathedral.
Modelled on the world famous 17th century St Paul's Cathedral, the
St Marks Cathedral is one of the best colonial structural building
of Bangalore. Delicate wood work and excellent carving on its
entrance, graceful domes and stained glass works in the newly
constructed parts are wonderful to view here. Being located in the
hot spot of Bangalore make the cathedral must-visit place.
