Co-Cathedral of Our Lady of Assumption, Saint-Pierre

Co-Cathedral of Our Lady of Assumption, Saint-Pierre, Catholic church in Saint-Pierre, Martinique.

The Co-Cathedral of Our Lady of Assumption exhibits a baroque architectural style with two towers and a prominent bell tower at its center.

Built in 1654 as a private chapel, the cathedral endured British bombardment in 1667 and underwent reconstruction following the Mount Pelée eruption in 1902.

The cathedral contains multiple altars and stained glass windows depicting biblical narratives and local saints, representing Caribbean Catholic artistic expression.

Regular mass services take place at the cathedral, which opens daily for visitors interested in exploring its architectural features and religious significance.

The reconstruction used a combination of salvaged stones and volcanic rocks from Mount Pelée, incorporating the natural disaster into its structural elements.
