What started off as a modest wood-framed church in 1783 became the magnificent St. Mary's Basilica in 1801. The church has weathered many historical events, including the Halifax Explosion, and has lived to tell the tales. Features include an impressive display of stained glass windows (the originals were destroyed in the explosion). Come for daily mass or take a guided tour.

Little Dutch Church
This Church was built in 1756 and has the distinction of being the first Lutheran Church in Canada. Interestingly, it was not built by Dutch settlers, but rather by Germans, who were incorrectly labelled as Dutch by the locals. As such, the politcally correct name for the church is The Little Deutsch Church.

This church was built in 1750, making it the oldest protestant church in Canada, as well as Britain's first overseas cathedral. The church was designed after St. Paul's Church in London, and the sturdy structure has survived years of weathering and disasters like the Halifax explosion. The burial vault below the church contains the remains of several illustrious British colonials. Open year-round.
