Cathedral of the Holy Trinity, Gibraltar

The Holy Trinity is one of two cathedrals on the Rock of Gibraltar. Trinity is Anglican. The other cathedral, St. Mary the Crowned, is Roman Catholic. Holy Trinity was built as a church between 1825 and 1832 by the British Army Royal Engineers, commanded by Colonel Pilkington, under Governor, John Pitt. The church was dedicated to St. Bernard.

The church was raised to cathedral status in 1842. It became the diocese for Anglican worship in both Gibraltar and Europe. Currently, it also serves as a concerts and events venue.

The building design style is Moorish. The characteristic horseshoe arches date from the time of the Moorish occupation of the Iberian Peninsula. The building remained under Moorish auspices until 1704 when Britain took control of the Rock. The interior is plain and simple. It has one nave ceiling supported by arches and columns.

The pews are from the Naval dockyard at Chatham, England. When the dockyard was closed, the pews from the Church of St. George in the dockyard were donated to the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity in Gibraltar. The music gallery is over the main entrance. The gallery organ is from 1880.

A chapel dedicated to St. George is in the south aisle. It was established in memory of all those who died in the Mediterranean Theatre of World War II.
