Add comment

This historic monument in the centre of Nouméa is one of the city’s must-see attractions.

Dominating the city and overlooking the bay, the cathedral—whose architecture is reminiscent of some Latin American churches—has been listed as a historic monument since 1992. Once inside, some of the building's most remarkable features include the choir's tamanu woodwork, the pulpit, the chapels and the giant fonts.

Opens

All year round, daily.
