St. Louis Cathedral, located in the heart of Port Louis near Champ de Mars, is a historic landmark with deep religious and cultural significance. Built between 1752 and 1756, the cathedral has endured several reconstructions due to cyclones and wars, including a restoration in 1814 under the direction of Sir Robert Farquhar, which elevated it to cathedral status in 1847. As the only cathedral in Mauritius, it stands as a testament to resilience, with its grand facade and interior reflecting centuries of history. The cathedral also serves as the burial site for six bishops, maintaining its role as a spiritual and historical center in the capital.

nice cathedral. Entrance is free, everyone can enter, regardless of what religion you consider yourself to be. It's quiet and peaceful inside. The area is very small, there is nowhere to walk. If you are nearby, then it is worth visiting this place by yourself, but it is not worth going here separately.

One of the main and oldest church in Mauritius. Well maintained infrastructure and yard also. Enough parking for any events.
