Church of Saint Charles Borromee
Church of Saint Charles Borromee, Catholic church on Goree Island, Senegal.
The Church of Saint Charles Borromee stands as a religious structure with colonial architectural elements on the western edge of Goree Island.
The church emerged in 1830 during French colonial presence, marking the establishment of Catholic worship spaces in this region of West Africa.
Regular religious ceremonies at the Church of Saint Charles Borromee unite local residents and international visitors in shared moments of faith.
