Cathedral of St. Vincent de Paul, Catholic cathedral in Tunis, Tunisia.
The Cathedral of St. Vincent de Paul is a religious building constructed between 1893 and 1897, located at 53 Rue Mokhtar Attia in the Ville Nouvelle district of Tunis.
The cathedral was inaugurated during Christmas season of 1897, with one tower originally built of wood due to limited funding during the French colonial period in Tunisia.
