Sacred Heart Cathedral
A Catholic church built in 1902 from Sydney sandstone. The Fijian-language four-part choir at Sunday Mass is deeply moving.
Sacred Heart Cathedral is the cathedral of the Catholic Archdiocese of Suva. Construction began in 1902, using sandstone shipped from Australia, and its Romanesque bell tower stands out in the old town center. Visitors can quietly enter to look around during the day. The Fijian-language choir at Sunday morning Mass is powerful and harmonious, and many visitors come specifically to hear it. Please dress appropriately, and during Mass do not take photos or walk around.
Opening hours
Open by day; Sunday Mass about 07:00 and 09:00
