St. Matthew's Cathedral

Khartoum, Sudan · built 1908

St. Matthew's Cathedral is a Catholic church in Khartoum, which is the capital of Sudan. The cathedral is located on the banks of the Blue Nile, next to the Mac Nimir Bridge. It is the seat of the Archbishop of Khartoum, though the bishop is currently displaced due to the ongoing Sudanese civil war. The church was dedicated under the patronage of Saint Matthew the Apostle. This building resembles a fairy-tale castle with its various turrets, slender spires and a large rose window.
