Melbourne has many beautiful religious sites. One of the most spectacular is St. Paul's Cathedral. Built at the turn of the 19th - 20th centuries, it is a vivid monument in the Gothic style. The main decoration of the cathedral is considered to be a unique organ, which was made by the best foremen in the world. Despite the fact that the cathedral is actually located in the historic center of Melbourne, its fine façade has long been obscured by modern high-rise buildings. Not all tourists can independently find the cathedral.
Fans of unusual sights will be interested to visit the ancient stone mansion, which once belonged to the famous captain James Cook. Originally, this mansion was located in the vicinity of Melbourne, in a small village called Great Ayton. In 1933, the government of Melbourne decided to buy out the historic building and transport it to the city. The mansion was redeemed and donated to local businesses in the eastern part of Melbourne. Now it is in the territory of a picturesque park. During a tour of the mansion, you can learn a lot of interesting things about the discoveries of Captain Cook.
