Amazing experience Recommend at least once every Sunday

In the center of the city, the big white church as it’s called, is one of the most iconic places in Maputo. Beautiful from outside and inside, quiet and always open for visits (until 6pm) and prayer. They celebrate mass everyday at 6pm and sunday there is also on the morning at 7:30 and 10am.

An incredible experience of beauty, majesty and tranquility in the middle of the city. I was quite emotional seeing the architecture, art and history of this wonderful cathedral.

This cathedral is large and very beautiful. I went on a Wednesday morning and it was very quiet with just a few people praying. It is not as richly decorated as most European cathedrals, but the white walls and ceiling are very elegant and the stained glass panels are lovely. There were a few hawkers and people sleeping on the steps but no one bothered me.

Large cathedral in the city centre, has beautiful spiral staircases. Worth a visit for sure, but if you're hoping to get to the top of the steeple like I was, apparently the stairs aren't in good enough condition so you can't go.

A beautiful cathedral located in the bustling city center , its like a white oasis , a serene looking building in the middle of a busy city! Located close to other amazing attraction like an art center museums and monuments its definitely worth visiting this modern architectural beauty

The Cathedral of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception is a Roman Catholic cathedral in downtown Maputo, the capital of Mozambique. The cathedral is located on Praça da Independência next to Hotel Rovuma and Maputo City Hall. It is dedicated to Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception. The foundation stone for the construction of the church was laid on June 28, 1936, and is located inside the narthex and inscribed by the Bishop of Mozambique and Cape Verde, D. Rafael Maria da Asunção. Construction on the cathedral was completed in 1944. The cathedral was designed by the Portuguese civil engineer Marcial Simões de Freitas e Costa, then a railway director. He designed the church pro bono for the Archdiocese of Lourenço Marques. Freitas was inspired by the simple style and building materials of church construction in Europe of the time; the cathedral was ultimately built of concrete and cement. He was inspired to buildings such as the Notre-Dame du Raincy in Le Raincy by Auguste Perret and Igreja de Nossa Senhora de Fátima in Lisbon, built by Pardal Monteiro. The simplicity and the choice of new materials was also a result of financial problems of the period.

Beautiful cathedral, which merges perfectly with with architecture and style of Maputo. A definite must, while in town.
