Sacred Heart Cathedral, Suva, Roman Catholic cathedral in Suva, Fiji.

The Sacred Heart Cathedral features two towers, concrete staircases, balustrades, and sandstone blocks imported from Australian quarries near Sydney.

Construction of the cathedral began in 1894, faced numerous delays due to material and labor challenges, and reached completion of its main structure in 1902.

The central stained glass window above the altar incorporates a bilo cup beneath the Sacred Heart of Jesus, connecting Fijian and Catholic symbolism.

The cathedral stands on Pratt Street in central Suva, serving as the headquarters of the Catholic Archdiocese and main ecclesiastical building in Fiji.

The building process extended across one hundred years, from initial construction in 1894 to final dedication in 1994 by Cardinal Tomko.
