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

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.

Very simple and stylish cathedral. The biggest annoyance are the street vendors that will not leave you alone to appreciate the beauty of the cathedral and the surrounding area. The best thing to do is to ignore them and not engage.

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.
