Queen Victoria's father, Prince Edward, the Duke of Kent, was obsessed with circular architecture and built this round church in 1800 (he also built the Town Clock and the Prince of Wales Tower in Point Pleasant Park). Higher than it is wide, the church resembles a wedding cake on the outside. Interior fixtures appear austere, but the high-domed ceiling is dramatic. The excellent acoustics make it a popular site for classical concerts. Call ahead for concert information and tours. Visits are by appointment only 8:30 am-4 pm. Admission is by donation. 2222 Brunswick St. (at Cornwallis Street), Halifax. Phone 902-423-1059. http://www.roundchurch.ca.
