Lonely Planet review for St Ignatius Cathedral

Its arches and spires are echoed in adjacent local architecture, all the way up to the huge tower block north of the cathedral. Just south of the church (built in 1904, and which served as a grain warehouse during the Cultural Revolution) stands the former Jesuit Observatory within the Shanghai Meteorological Bureau. The guard may stop you, but show him the Chinese characters in the heading above and he should let you into the church for a peek. Across North Caoxi Rd is the former convent of the Helpers of the Holy Souls, now Ye Olde Station Restaurant.
