St Joseph's Cathedral, Roman Catholic cathedral in Gunfoundry, Hyderabad, India

St Joseph's Cathedral is a Roman Catholic place of worship in Gunfoundry featuring Italian architectural elements with a central hall seating approximately 500 people. Two distinctive bell towers frame the front of the building.

The first Catholic church in Hyderabad was built in 1820 by missionaries of the Pontifical Institute for Foreign Missions. The present building began in 1869, when Fr Antonio Tagliabue bought land at Gunfoundry; Msgr Pietro Caprotti laid the foundation stone on 18 March 1870. Fr Luigi Malberti completed the main building, consecrated at Christmas 1875, and Pope Leo XIII made it the cathedral in 1887.

The cathedral's name honours Saint Joseph, on whose feast eve its foundation stone was laid in 1870. Inside, an imitation of Michelangelo's Pietà stands in the main alcove, and a Madonna and Child by Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, gifted by one of the Nizams, hangs among restored marble altars and statues.

The place of worship is open daily to visitors, and services are held in the morning and evening in English. Additional services occur on Sundays and religious holidays, so checking the schedule beforehand is helpful.

The bells are tuned so that several hymns can be played on them, including the Ave Maria. They were imported from Italy and installed in 1892, after the facade and bell towers were finished in 1891.
