Cathedral of Our Lady of La Salette
Cathédrale Notre-Dame-de-la-Salette
A red-brick and stone cathedral in the city center with twin towers rising high. On Sundays, visitors can hear the local congregation's polyphonic choir.
The cathedral was built in the first half of the 20th century from local volcanic stone and brick. Its twin-towered facade and stained-glass windows make it a city landmark. Madagascar has many Catholics, and on Sunday morning Mass the church is full and the choral singing is deeply moving. Visitors may listen quietly, dressed modestly. The cathedral sits in the city center, within a 10-minute walk of the market and Independence Avenue.
