Westminster Cathedral is the largest Catholic church in England and Wales, featuring a distinctive 9th-century Christian neo-Byzantine design made almost entirely of brick. The cathedral showcases remarkable craftsmanship with its striking striped brick and stone exterior, constructed without modern steel reinforcements. Built between 1895 and 1903, it stands as a notable example of architectural design and has hosted papal visits from Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI.
