Mata Utu Cathedral, Roman Catholic cathedral in Mata-Utu, Wallis and Futuna, France.
The Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption stands with two rectangular towers, displaying a blue Maltese cross between them near the Wallis lagoon.
French Marist missionaries initiated the construction of this cathedral in 1951, using locally sourced coral blocks and blue volcanic stones for its structure.
The cathedral maintains strong connections with the local community through religious ceremonies and serves as the main church for the Roman Catholic Diocese.
Visitors can access the cathedral through flights landing at Hihifo Airport, followed by a short taxi ride to the center of Mata-Utu.
The cathedral incorporates hand-chiseled blue volcanic stones in its construction and stands next to the Palace of the King of Uvea.
