The only thing memorable about the Cathedral is that it's covered with bird netting about 20 feet off the ground. The netting has piles of feathers in it from too many pidgeons. It seems like they need more money to fix the windows and evict the pidgeons. More

This is one of the most run down cathedrals I've ever seen. The overhead nets catch bird droppings and obscure the view of the ceiling. Want to see the crypt? It's an extra fee.
