For me is the first cathedral with the arcades in timber. It is on the path of every touristic visit of Tana. There are even some saints relics exposed inside

I believe this is the largest cathedral in the city. It's a very beautiful structure and the interior was nice. I did not manage to inside the cathedral as there was a wedding ceremony ongoing. Looking from outside it did look well maintained. There's a very large statue of Mary but to get a good shot you'll need to get it from the bottom of the stairs leading up to the church. The neighborhood seems safe to walk about. It's on the way to the Rova Palace.
