Dar es Salaam - Other Religious Buildings

St Joseph's Roman Catholic Cathedral was started by missionaries in 1897 and took 5 years to finish. The Gothic style church dominates the harbor with a shingled spire, a vaulted interior and a carved relief above the main altar. The interior of St Joseph's features artwork and original German inscriptions. St Alban's Church is Anglican and was modeled after an Anglican church located in Zanzibar. It was the Governor's church in colonial times.
