Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Antananarivo, Antananarivo

The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Antananarivo was established in 1841, with a beautiful widely-paved driveway. The cathedral is built in Gothic style. The face is decorated with stained-glass rosette window, flanked by gabled bell-towers. The interior is largely designed with decorative painted walls. The side-wall, stained, flamboyant windows have an attractive form and pretty colours and the ceiling is covered with hardwood, painted in blue shades that suggest the azure skies. Outside the building there is a grotto of the Lady of Lourdes.
