Liverpool is noted for its two cathedrals, one [[Anglican]] and one [[Roman Catholic]]. The former, a traditional design from the early 1900s is built from local sandstone. The Catholic cathedral built in a modern style during the 1970s is affectionately known as Paddy's Wigwam or the Mersey Funnel - a pun on the pioneering Mersey Tunnel constructed under the river between Liverpool and Birkenhead.

Liverpool also has two famous [[football]] teams, Liverpool ("the Reds") and Everton ("the Toughies"), which play in red and blue. Liverpool was traditionally the Catholic team, and Everton the Protestant one, but this division is not so meaningful today.
Liverpool is the European Capital Of Culture for 2008.
