Description: St Peter's Cathedral is an Anglican Cathedral in the South Australian capital of Adelaide. It is situated on one acre (4,000 m²) of land on King William Road in North Adelaide. The foundation stone was laid on 29 June 1869 (St Peter's day), the church was completed in 1901 and officially opened in 1904 although a service was held on St Peter's Day 1876. The cathedral measures 60 m in length and the width of the nave is 9 m. The south face has similar features to the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris, including an ornate rose window above the main entrance which depicts stories of South Australia and the Bible. The building is iconic among cricket fans as the namesake for Adelaide Oval's "Cathedral End".
