Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, Port of Spain, Gothic Revival cathedral in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago.
The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception features twin wooden towers and twelve bells at the eastern end of Independence Square in Port of Spain.
Governor Sir Ralph Woodford initiated the construction of this cathedral in 1816, using blue metal from Laventille quarries and iron framework from England.
The Cathedral serves as the principal Catholic church for the Archdiocese of Port of Spain, hosting regular Eucharistic services and community gatherings throughout the year.
Visitors can attend confessions on Thursdays and Fridays from 4:30 to 4:55 PM, and on Saturdays from 5:00 to 5:55 PM at the cathedral.
An earthquake destroyed the original stone towers, leading to their reconstruction in wood, which now stand as distinguishing elements of this religious structure.
