St. Joseph’s Cathedral, Zanzibar

St. Joseph’s Cathedral is a beautiful Catholic church located in Stone Town, Zanzibar. Built in the late 19th century by French missionaries, the cathedral is known for its striking Gothic Revival architecture, with intricate stained glass windows and a tall, impressive facade. It sits on the site of an earlier church and is one of the most important religious landmarks on the island. The cathedral also holds historical significance, as it was constructed during a time when Zanzibar was under British influence, reflecting both the island’s colonial past and its religious diversity. Today, St. Joseph’s Cathedral remains an active place of worship and a popular attraction for visitors to Zanzibar.
