Experts' Choice Award St. Paul's Cathedral
What the experts agree on
Kolkata's historic St. Paul's Cathedral, completed in 1847, draws crowds especially on Christmas Eve for midnight Mass. Its Canterbury-inspired steeple has survived multiple earthquakes that toppled earlier versions.
“Completed in 1847, the cathedral now has a steeple modeled after the one at Canterbury; previous steeples were destroyed by earthquakes in 1897 and 1934.”
