That´s the Wonder One in our list: The Liverpool (Anglican) Cathedral, the largest in the whole of the UK and the fifth largest in the world, unique and fascinating which amazingly survived two world wars. The height of its walls makes them disappears in front of our eyes and the beauty and solemnity of the art paintings and sculptures take our breath away. Note that Liverpool has two cathedrals, the Catholic Cathedral is a beautiful building too and very much worthy of a mention.

Our Wonder Two is the St. Luke´s Bombed Out Church in the City Centre, the last bomb-site in Liverpool, is the legacy of the brave people who lived and died during the May Blitz of 1941 who formed the congregation and community for over a century before the start of the Second World War. Inside its walls grow flowers of all colours that remind us of the rebirth of hope for the people after having lost many lives there.

It has thousands of exhibits sourced from across the planet, including impressive Egyptian mommies, meteorites and dinosaurs’ skeletons whose odour you can even smell. They also have live creatures, an aquarium and bughouse. Their Planetarium has interesting expositions, a theatre and an observatory.
