St Peter's Cathedral Basilica

Twin-towered Gothic Roman Catholic basilica on Dufferin Avenue

Address 196 Dufferin Avenue

The Catholic cathedral, finished in 1885 and raised to minor basilica status by Pope Francis in 2017. Twin spires in carved limestone, a Connolly organ in the gallery, and a vast painted ceiling lit by clerestory windows. Walk five minutes north from Victoria Park; it stands almost back-to-back with the Anglican cathedral, a piece of 19th-century denominational competition built in stone.
