Cathedral Of Saint-Sauveur

The Cathedral of Saint-Sauveur is a magnificent Roman Catholic cathedral and a French national monument. It used to be surrounded by beautiful palm trees, which added to its charm. In the 1990s, it was renovated and then designated as a historical monument. As one of the largest churches in the area, it is not just a French monument, but also a well-known landmark in French Guiana, which is frequently visited by tourists looking for a unique South American experience.

Due to the fact that French Guiana is an overseas department and region of France, it serves as the former seat of the Diocese of Cayenne and is a national monument of France. The Saint-Sauveur Cathedral is located in the heart of Cayenne and features an orthodox rectangle shape with a west-facing entrance. With a vanilla shade of yellow color on the façade, it can be seen just above the entryway, a balcony, and the bell tower above it. The spiral at the top of the tower depicts the most important Christian symbol, the cross. The precise year of construction is unknown due to a lack of knowledge on the cathedral; however, the interior of the cathedral is what one would expect of a Roman Catholic church. There is a long hall with benches on both sides for worshipers to sit and watch the priests perform their ceremonies, as well as a large altar at the cathedral's east end.
