3 Best Churches in Toronto

“St. Michael's Cathedral Basilica is one of the oldest churches in Toronto. They were designed by William Thomas, who also designed eight other churches in the city. The church's interior is divided into a large nave and two tall aisles. They are lavishly decorated with a tall arcade supported by graceful colonnettes. This design gives the interior space a feeling of openness and adds to the grand sense of scale that the building imposes. The exterior façade of the church is made of cream-colored brick with stone accents. The exterior has a neutral color scheme, contrasting the interior's beauty.”
