Holy Ghost Cathedral, Mombasa, Catholic cathedral in Makadara area, Mombasa, Kenya
The Holy Ghost Cathedral features Romanesque Revival elements with high ceilings, stained glass windows, and stone walls throughout its structure.
Father Alexander le Roy purchased five acres of land in 1898, leading to the construction of the initial small church on Easter Sunday that year.
The cathedral stands as a National Monument of Kenya, representing the establishment of Catholic presence in the coastal region of East Africa.
Regular masses take place daily, with guided tours available during non-service hours for visitors interested in exploring the architectural details.
