Christ Church Cathedral
The stone Christ Church Cathedral in Nassau, in simple Gothic style and square tower, was started in 1837 and consecrated in 1845. It replaces four earlier churches stretching back to about 1670.
The interior has a fine set of stained glass windows, an impressive organ and a mahogany ceiling. What is of particular interest are the memorial plaques from the 1800s documenting the life histories of local residents and their deaths in shipwrecks, of yellow fever and after childbirth.
