Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption
Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption, Roman Catholic cathedral in Port-au-Prince, Haiti
The Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption features stone walls, twin bell towers, and rounded arches characteristic of Romanesque Revival architecture.
Built between 1884 and 1914, the cathedral served as the principal Roman Catholic church in Haiti until its destruction in the 2010 earthquake.
The cathedral functioned as the central religious institution for Haiti's Catholic population, hosting major ceremonies and national religious celebrations throughout its history.
Located at the intersection of Avenue Mgr Guilloux and Rue Pavée in downtown Port-au-Prince, the cathedral remains accessible by public transportation.
The cathedral's destruction during the 2010 earthquake left only the facade standing, creating a lasting symbol of Haitian resilience and determination.
