Cathedral Saint Anthony, Catholic cathedral in Baucau, Timor-Leste

Cathedral Saint Anthony is a Catholic place of worship in Baucau, distinguished by a bell tower above the entrance and decorative tiles showing Mary and Saint Anthony of Padua. The building houses a main worship space designed to hold regular religious services and diocesan activities.

The Diocese of Baucau was created in 1996 by the bull Quo aptius consuleretur of Pope John Paul II, and the cathedral became its seat. Basílio do Nascimento, its first bishop, was buried in the cathedral in 2021.

The cathedral is named for Saint Anthony of Padua, shown on the right-hand azulejo panel with the child Jesus; the left panel depicts Our Lady of Fátima. Basílio do Nascimento, the diocese's first bishop, was buried in the cathedral in 2021.

The building sits in the Vila Salazar area of Suco Buruma and is accessible on foot from the town center. Visitors can attend regular church services that take place throughout the week, with visiting times generally around service hours.

The two white-and-blue panels flanking the cross on the facade are Portuguese azulejos: the left shows Our Lady of Fátima, the right Saint Anthony of Lisbon holding the child Jesus. Basílio do Nascimento, the diocese's first bishop, was buried in the cathedral in 2021.
