Admire the huge white edifice of St. Mark's Cathedral, an Anglican church in MacIver Town, and an oasis in the city surrounded by greenery. Inspired by the 17th-century St. Paul’s Cathedral, the structure features a wide dome but no belfry. and has a blend of military and clerical colonial heritage. The church was founded in 1808 as a garrison church for the British Army’s 77th Moplah Rifles, whose gilt colors and royal maces can be viewed inside the cathedral. The interior features a barrel vault ceiling supported by white pillars, and the church's pews can accommodate 700 people. The church has an organ and plaques commemorating those who perished in the Malabar rebellion, Carnatic Wars, and Bangalore Cantonment.
