St. Matthew's Cathedral, located on the banks of the Blue Nile near the Mac Nimir Bridge in Khartoum, is a prominent Catholic church and the seat of the Archbishop of Khartoum, though the current archbishop is displaced due to the ongoing civil war. The cathedral, dedicated to Saint Matthew the Apostle, features a neo-Romanesque design with turrets, spires, and a large rose window. Originally established in 1847, it was rebuilt in 1908 after the destruction of the original church during the Mahdist War. Despite challenges, it remains a significant historical and religious site in Khartoum.

St. Matthew's Cathedral is a Christian religious building in Khartoum, which is the capital of Khartoum State and Sudan. The cathedral is located on the bank of the Blue Nile, next to the Mac Nimir Bridge. It is the seat of the Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Khartoum, under the patronage of Saint Matthew the Apostle. This building almost resembles a fairy-tale castle with its various turrets, slender spires and a large rose window.
