Stone Town - St Joseph's Catholic Cathedral

St. Joseph's Cathedral was designed by the same architect who designed the Notre Dame Basilica at Marseilles, France. French missionaries built St Joseph's between 1893 and 1898. A summary of the mission's history is posted inside the entrance. The twin spires of St Joseph can be seen from any elevated point in town and it is one of the first sights that travelers see when the ferry arrives in Zanzibar.

The cathedral is still well used and mass is said regularly.
