All Saints Cathedral
ऑल सेंट्स कैथेड्रल
A Gothic Revival cathedral designed by an English architect in the late 19th century, known locally as the 'Stone Church', with exquisite stained-glass windows.
All Saints Cathedral was completed in 1887 under the design direction of William Emerson, the architect of Mumbai's Victoria Terminus. Built of white and red sandstone, it is considered one of the most beautiful Church of England churches in Asia, and locals commonly call it 'Patthar Girja' (Stone Church). Inside you'll find exquisite stained-glass windows, a marble altar, and colonial-era memorials. It stands at the center of a roundabout in the Civil Lines area, surrounded by the city's commercial center. Admission is free, and the Christmas light displays at night are very popular.
