Review
The St Patrick's Cathedral in an integral part of the history of Karachi. It is one of the first churches to be built in Sindh. The architectural sky style is that of The Gothic Revival period. The church though not ornamental from it's exterior is a monument of grandeur itself. The interior consists of paintings and stained glass. It is a popular tourist point.

Review
The first church in Sindh was initially built on the grounds of this cathedral in 1845, and was called St. Patrick’s Church. It was in April 1881 that the present cathedral was opened, since the Catholic community grew in number, and the need for a larger place of worship became apparent. Despite the construction of the new building, the little church continued to function until it was destroyed by a storm in 1885.

I am a Patrician and went to St. Pats high school in 1980's. I visited St. Patricks Cathedral after 25-30 years and was amazed to see that everything has been kept as it was 30 years ago. Cathedral ground that connects to St Josephs College is neat and clean. Right around the corner is St. Patricks High School and College. Parking could be a hassle during school and college days.

A few days ago I visited this beautiful and historical place with my Couchsurfing friends. We were doing a city walk around the old town, Saddar. Soon we ended up in front of the picturesque St. Patrick Cathedral, which also houses missionary schools including St. Joseph College. The church was not open for general visitors due to the Sunday service. The caretaker offered us to give a visit on any other working day. Still it was good enough for a group photograph from the outside.

It's an old church. Was constructed in 1984 and has the capacity to accommodate 1500 people.
