Saint Patrick's Cathedral, Gothic Revival cathedral in Saddar district, Karachi, Pakistan
Saint Patrick's Cathedral measures 52 meters in length and 22 meters in width with pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses throughout its structure.
The cathedral was built in 1881 after replacing an original church from 1845, becoming the main Catholic place of worship in the growing city.
The cathedral functions as the seat of Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Karachi, serving local Catholics while reflecting the religious diversity of Pakistan's largest city.
Regular worship services take place on Sundays at 9 AM, with the cathedral remaining open to visitors throughout the week without entrance fees.
The marble Christ the King Monument, constructed between 1926 and 1931, stands in front of the cathedral commemorating the Jesuit mission in Sindh.
