Cathedrale de Maorey

Catholic cathedral in central Niamey, close to the Grand Marche and old Maorey quarter

Cathedrale de Maorey is one of central Niamey's more visible Christian landmarks, standing near the Grand Marche and the older Maorey quarter. In a predominantly Muslim city, the cathedral is a useful reminder of Niger's smaller Catholic community and the layered religious life of the capital.

It is a short stop, not a destination to plan a day around. Combine it with the market or the National Museum area, and be discreet with photography unless someone on site says it is fine.
