Church of Our Lady of Remedies, Cathedral in Luanda, Angola.
The Church of Our Lady of Remedies exhibits three entrance doors and a curved pediment on its main facade facing the city streets.
Built in 1628, the religious structure became a cathedral in 1716 when the Diocese of Angola and Congo moved its headquarters from São Salvador to Luanda.
The cathedral functions as the seat of the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Luanda, maintaining centuries of religious traditions for the local Catholic population.
Following severe degradation in 1877, the cathedral underwent extensive renovations between 1880 and 1900, resulting in its current architectural configuration.
The cathedral received official recognition as a Public Interest property in 1949, during the period of Portuguese administration in Angola.
