St Cuchulain's Cathedral, known in the Ghaillish langiage as Ard-Eaglais Naomh Cuchulain,, is the largest church in Glytter. It is located on the Royal Mile in the Medieval Quarter of Spálgleann. It serves as the seat of the Archbishop of Spálgleann, who is the primate of the Church of Glytter. As such, the cathedral is the principal place for worship for the Goeldonic faith and receives pilgrims from across the country.
During the reign of Tomaisin III the Catholic Bishop Giles Laud ordered its construction. It was built in order to replace the city's previous cathedral, which was destroyed during the Weranic Crusade. Construction began in 1168 and ended in 1194. The cathedral was named after Saint Cuchulain, whose work is credited with converting the Ghailles to Sotirianity. It was home to several anti-popes who were loyal to the monarchs and was the centre of the Catholic Church in Glytter until the Glytteronian Reformation.
Currently, the principal minister of the cathedral is Archbishop Conall Haines. It is the administrative center of the Archbishopric of Spálgleann. Coronations and royal weddings take place at St Cuchulain's Cathedral.
