Holy Spirit Cathedral

Holy Spirit Cathedral is a Roman Catholic church in Adabraka district with a prominent bell tower and Western architectural features throughout its design. The building stands as a notable structure in the local skyline with careful attention to both exterior and interior composition.

Construction began in 1952 following a proposal by the Apostolic Delegate, and the first services took place in 1953 even without a completed roof. The structure has since become an important religious landmark in the city.

This cathedral is the main church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Accra and hosts religious ceremonies as well as public celebrations. Visitors can observe how the space brings together communities gathered for worship and significant community occasions.

The cathedral is located in a neighborhood that is accessible on foot from central Accra, making it easy to reach by walking. Visitors are advised to check service times before arriving to avoid visiting during active worship if they wish to explore the interior freely.

The stained glass windows in this cathedral showcase biblical stories through detailed artistic work that catches visitors' eyes as they walk through the space. An adjacent garden provides a quiet retreat that serves both residents and visitors seeking moments of reflection and calm.
