Cathedral Square located in the heart of Christchurch in New Zeland. The square is dominated by the Christchurch Anglican Cathedral, built in Gothic Revival style and symbolising the Church of England bedrock of Christchurch city. Public can access to the 63 metres high Cathedral spire for a good viewpoint over the centre of the city.

Alongside the Cathedral, there was a 18 metres high Metal Chalice sculpture in the square. Forty-two leaf patterns featuring different native plants make up the Chalice, created by prominent New Zealand artist Neil Dawson to acknowledge the new millennium. The square is a busy place in the city and is also the best place to start exploring the city.
