Basse-Terre Cathedral, Catholic cathedral in Basse-Terre, Guadeloupe.
The cathedral features a central nave with two side aisles, a square bell tower, and a facade made of volcanic stone blocks.
Established in 1736 on land given to Capuchin friars, the structure became a cathedral in 1850 when the Diocese of Basse-Terre was created.
The cathedral houses the tomb of Guadeloupe bishops and serves as the main Catholic religious center for the region of Basse-Terre.
Visitors can discover the architectural elements, including the new organ installed in 2018 with 1,856 pipes ranging from 1 centimeter to 6 meters.
The independent bell tower, separated from the main building, received historical monument status in 2006 and features a distinctive spire design.
