Liverpool Cathedral
The Liverpool Cathedral of Christ and the Virgin Mary is the largest cathedral in Great Britain and the fifth largest in the world. World War I significantly delayed construction, which resumed in 1920. It was planned to complete the work by 1940, but because of the outbreak of World War II in 1939, construction slowed down again, and the cathedral suffered from the bombings.
The cathedral began to be built in 1904, but was finally completed only in 1978. The building is decorated with beautiful sculptures and stained-glass windows in the neo-Gothic style, and the cathedral can boast the largest organ in Great Britain. Especially attractive for visitors will be the opportunity to enjoy the view of the city from the tower of the cathedral, 101 meters high.

The Beatles Statue
The bronze statue of the legendary band "The Beatles" was opened in their hometown of Liverpool. The musicians are depicted on it in its heyday. An impressive monument was given to the city by the owners of the Cavern Club, where the Liverpool four played in the early 1960s.
The group is depicted walking along the banks of the River Mersey. The inspiration for the sculptor Andy Edwards was a photograph where an unknown photographer captured John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr during such a walk.

Walker Art Gallery
The Walker Art Gallery is one of the largest art museums in the UK. The first collection of paintings, which formed the basis of the future museum, was acquired back in 1819. The success of the 1860 art exhibition in the Library and the Museum of William Brown contributed to the fact that as early as 1877 an Art Gallery opened in Liverpool, named after the industrialist and philanthropist Sir Andrew Barclay Walker.
Now in the collection of the gallery you can see the best examples of European painting, starting from the 14th century, and British art, including one of the largest collections of Pre-Raphaelites, is widely represented painting of the Victorian era. Special mention deserves the collection of sculptures exhibited in the gallery.
