The Faravohitra Church is a Roman Catholic Church built in 1870 by architect Cameron. The building was dedicated to John the Baptist. It is located in the Haut-Ville. Built in terracota brick, the church bears Romanesque features, especially noting the arched windows, and it is remarkable from a distance for its high-gabled bell tower, decorated by clocks on either side of it.
