Old Cathedral of St. Joseph, Trinidad and Tobago, Roman Catholic cathedral in Saint Joseph, Trinidad and Tobago
The Old Cathedral of St. Joseph features Gothic Revival architecture with buttresses, lancet windows, and an elaborate High Altar constructed from fourteen Italian marble varieties.
Originally built in the 16th century, the cathedral underwent multiple reconstructions after attacks by English and Dutch forces, with the current structure dating from 1815.
The cathedral cemetery contains the oldest gravestone in Trinidad, marking centuries of religious presence and community development in Saint Joseph.
The cathedral stands at the intersection of Abercromby and King Streets, occupying 1.4 hectares of land within the Tunapuna-Piarco region.
Three Capuchin friars, who were killed while working at the Mission of Saint Raphael, were buried at this site until their remains were moved in 1989.
