   Liverpool Cathedral

   The largest cathedral in Britain and the longest in the world, built between 1904 and 1978 to a design by Giles Gilbert Scott, who won the competition at twenty-two. Its Gothic revival is on a scale nothing else in England attempts, and its tower is the tallest in the country.

   Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral

   A circular cathedral of 1967 by Frederick Gibberd, a crown of concrete ribs over a lantern of coloured glass, built on top of the crypt of a vast Lutyens design that was abandoned after the war. Liverpool calls it Paddy's Wigwam and means it affectionately.

   Tate Liverpool

   A branch of the Tate opened in 1988 in a converted Albert Dock warehouse, and the first serious statement that the dock buildings had a future. Its collection displays are free and its position on the water is the best of any Tate.

   U-534

   A German submarine sunk by British aircraft in the Kattegat on 5 May 1945, in the last days of the war, and raised in 1993. She is displayed cut into four sections at Birkenhead so that visitors can see straight into the pressure hull.

   Mendips, Menlove Avenue

   The semi-detached house in Woolton where John Lennon was brought up by his aunt Mimi. Yoko Ono bought it in 2002 and gave it to the National Trust, which has restored it to the 1950s; the front porch is where he practised his guitar.

   Flint Castle

   The first of the castles Edward I built to hold Wales, begun in 1277, with a detached round keep that is unique in Britain. Richard II surrendered his crown here in 1399, an event Shakespeare puts on stage.

    World Museum

    A large free museum covering archaeology, ethnology, natural history and space, with an aquarium and a planetarium. Its Egyptian collection survived the bombing of 1941 that destroyed much of the rest, and the bug house is what children remember.

   Walton

   A district north of the centre, largely residential, and the home of Goodison Park, Everton's ground from 1892 until the club moved to the waterfront. Anfield is a mile away, which is why this corner of the city argues about football more than most.

    Museum of Liverpool

    A museum of 2011 at the Pier Head about Liverpool itself — the port, the migration, the music, the poverty and the football. It was built to make the argument that the city's own history is the exhibit.
