The ChristChurch Cathedral stands in the center of Christchurch, the largest city on New Zealand's South Island. Construction began in 1864, under the supervision of local architect Benjamin Mountfort, and the project required 40 years for completion. The building itself is a representative example of the Neo-Gothic style, and the interior is distinguished by soaring roof supports that resemble the hull of a ship. Local totara and matai timber was used for these massive beams. Cathedral Square, the open plaza surrounding the cathedral, is a favorite gathering place for local residents and visitors alike.
