Cathedral of St. Mary the Crowned, Roman Catholic cathedral in Gibraltar

The Cathedral of St. Mary the Crowned features brick construction, a clock tower, and a neoclassical design in the center of Gibraltar's Main Street.

The cathedral originated in 1462 as a conversion from a mosque, with subsequent reconstructions following damage during the Great Siege between 1779 and 1783.

The cathedral functions as the principal Catholic place of worship in Gibraltar, with masses conducted regularly for the local and international community.

Visitors can access the cathedral through the main entrance on Main Street, with religious services scheduled throughout the week and special ceremonies by appointment.

A crypt beneath the statue of Our Lady of Europe contains the remains of several bishops, following a tradition that dates to the 19th century.
