Why go

Built during the French colonial period, the cathedral stands out for its brick exterior and two bell towers. Its later designation as a basilica reflects its role in the city’s Catholic life. Look for what remains visible around restoration work, then continue through the neighboring central streets rather than planning an indoor visit.

What to look for

  • Red-brick exterior and paired bell towers.
  • The cathedral’s prominent position in the central streetscape.

Useful to know

  • Expect restoration work to affect exterior views.
  • Check the cathedral’s current notice before planning any entry.
