Glasgow Cathedral: one of the few churches that survived the Reformation, this unusual cathedral is dedicated to Glasgow's patron saint, St Mungo. His tomb can be seen in the crypt and was part of a former church that stood on the same grounds back in the 6th century. The cathedral is also known as the cathedral of St Kentigern or St Mungo's. George Square: is located in the main part of the business district and features some impressive statues such as Robert Burns, Queen Victoria, Prime Minister William Gladstone and historical novelist, Sir Walter Scott. On the corner of West George street is the Merchants' House, and on the east side of the Square is the Italian Renaissance-style City Chambers. People's Palace: was built in 1898 as a 'palace of pleasure' for the working classes. It now has exhibits that tell the story of the people of Glasgow since the Industrial Age. There is an interesting feature which attempts to explain The Patter, which is the unique dialect of Glasgow. The huge Winter Gardens are housed in a restored Victorian glass house at the rear of the building. Glasgow School of Art: is one of Charles Rennie Mackintosh's finest buildings, and attracts visitors from many countries. The young architect was not even 30 when he designed the building, and it was constructed in two phases between 1897 and 1909. This much respected working art school can only be seen by booking a guided tour, and reservations are advisable. The highlight is undoubtedly the library which still has all of the original furnishings, except the chairs. |
