Located at the top end of St George's Mall (on Wale Street), the current building was designed by Sir Herbert Baker and completed in the 1930s. The cathedral has many layers to its history and architecture, including its role as a safe space during Apartheid, under the leadership of the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
