About
Designed by C.P. Wolff Schoemaker in a late neo-Gothic style, the cathedral was built during 1921 and blessed on 19 February 1922; from above its plan forms a symmetrical cross. It stands on Jalan Merdeka near the city hall, a few minutes from the top of Jalan Braga. Admire the exterior any time, and dress modestly if you step inside outside Mass.
