Regina Mundi Cathedral, Catholic cathedral in Bujumbura, Burundi.
Regina Mundi Cathedral is a Catholic church in Bujumbura featuring tall interior spaces, colored glass windows, and stone flooring. Sunlight filtering through the decorative glass creates shifting patterns across the floors and walls throughout the day.
The building became a major religious center when it was designated as the seat of the Metropolitan Archdiocese in 2006. This designation established it as the principal church for Catholics in the region.
The cathedral serves as a gathering place where the local Catholic community comes together for worship and prayer. Throughout the week, different services bring residents to this space, reflecting the role it plays in their spiritual lives.
The church is open during worship services held throughout the day, particularly in the morning and at midday. Visitors planning to attend should check the service schedule in advance to ensure they arrive at the right time.
The cathedral was honored with its image on a national postage stamp in 1961, a mark of its importance to the nation. This recognition reflects how the building holds a special place in the country's heritage.
