Holy Trinity Cathedral

Holy Trinity Cathedral is an Anglican cathedral in central Accra featuring red brick walls and a rectangular bell tower situated on High Street. The building displays traditional British colonial architectural design with characteristic structural details from its era.

The cathedral was built by the British colonial government in 1894 and initially served the European community in the Gold Coast. Over the decades it became an important religious center for Ghana's growing Anglican population.

The cathedral serves as a spiritual center for the local Anglican community and remains an active place of worship in the heart of Accra. Its dedication to the Holy Trinity reflects the religious traditions brought to Ghana centuries ago.

The cathedral is located in Accra's business district and welcomes visitors most days, particularly outside of service times. It is best to check opening hours in advance and treat the site with respect as an active place of worship.

The cathedral has hosted visits from prominent British dignitaries including Queen Elizabeth II in 1961 and the Prince of Wales in 1999. These visits reflected its importance as a venue for significant moments in Ghana's modern history.
