The Sacred Heart Cathedral in Lomé is the main church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Lomé and a key landmark in the city. Built between April 1901 and September 1902 by the German colonial authorities, it quickly became one of Lomé's iconic structures, symbolizing the urbanization of Togo. The cathedral, which was consecrated in 1902 by Bishop Albert, has witnessed significant moments in the country's religious history, including a Mass celebrated by Pope John Paul II in 1985.

An architectural masterpiece. Located in one of Togo’s busiest market, Asigame. This more than a century old Roman Catholic Cathedral is a must see if you’re in Lomé the national’s capital.

Beautiful work of art, right next to the market. It is one of the tourist attractions of Togo. The pop of color is bright and can be seen from afar. It is a beautiful sight to behold. Would visit again. It might be chaotic during market days as people sell in front but I think it should be fine on a Sunday for church service.
