St. Matthew's Cathedral, Catholic cathedral on the Blue Nile bank in Khartoum, Sudan
The cathedral features three naves, a tall tower, slender spires, turrets, and a rose window in neo-Romanesque architectural style.
The current structure, completed in 1908, replaced an 1847 church that was destroyed during the Mahdist capture of Khartoum in 1885.
The cathedral serves as the seat of the Archbishop of Khartoum and maintains Roman Catholic liturgical practices for the Sudanese community.
The cathedral, located near the Mac Nimir Bridge, can be contacted at 011/782174 for mass schedules and visiting information.
Due to the 2023 Sudanese civil war, Archbishop Michael Didi Adgum Mangoria relocated to Port Sudan while maintaining oversight of the cathedral.
