St. Joseph's Cathedral

The Saint Joseph's Metropolitan Cathedral is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

It was built by the Germans between 1897 and 1902[1] and consecrated as a Catholic church in 1905.[2] The cathedral is the seat of the Dar es Salaam archdiocese. One of the most notable features of the church are the stained-glass windows behind the altar.[3]
