St. Joseph's Cathedral

In one corner of the world is Stone Town, where many cultures meet, it is not surprising to find an imposing Catholic church, even amongst a culturally mixed African and Arabic island. Zanzibar Catholic Cathedral was built by French missionaries in the mid-nineteenth century, and is undoubtedly one of the highlights for visitors when they arrive at the island, especially if the arrival is by boat, as the towers of the cathedral are clearly visible from the sea.
