About St. Dunstan's Basilica
St. Dunstan’s Basilica is the Catholic cathedral of the Diocese of Charlottetown. The present building, in neogothic style, was rebuilt after a 1913 fire and completed in 1919, using parts of the earlier church’s stone walls.
The two main towers, with pointed spires, are visible from afar in the city skyline, especially from the harbour. Inside, painted vaults, marble and carved wood altars and stained-glass scenes draw attention.
The church was granted the title of minor basilica by the pope and remains in use by the parish. It is one block from the harbour and Great George Street, the historic road that links the waterfront to the Confederation Centre of the Arts.
