Old Cathedral of Quelimane, Former cathedral in Quelimane, Mozambique

The Old Cathedral of Quelimane is a stout Portuguese colonial church facing the Quelimane River, with a pediment flanked by two domed bell towers and covered galleries along its sides. Its design reportedly follows the Sé Cathedral in Goa, and it is described as Mannerist and Indo-Portuguese in style.

Construction began in 1776 under Governor Baltasar Manuel Pereira do Lago and was completed in 1786 under Governor António de Melo e Castro. The project marked an important building phase in the city's colonial development.

The name Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Livramento refers to Our Lady of Liberation. Local tradition links the site to Vasco da Gama, who is said to have moored his ships at a large tree nearby in 1498 on his way to India. Since 2017 the Diocese of Quelimane and the Bons Sinais Association have planned to turn the disused building into a cultural and educational centre.

The building stands at the southern end of the city near the river, making it visible from many different points around town. This location makes it easy to use as a landmark while exploring the city center.

Six 19th-century tombs rest within the cathedral walls, including the burial place of Captain Mor and several children from that era. These burials offer insight into the lives of those who lived during that period.
