Sacred Heart Cathedral

Catholic cathedral on Siaka Stevens Street, seat of the Archdiocese of Freetown

The cathedral church of the Catholic Archdiocese of Freetown sits on Siaka Stevens Street and dates in its present form from the early twentieth century. The interior is cooler and more atmospheric than the Anglican cathedral nearby, and the painted ceiling is worth a look.

Mass times are clearly posted at the entrance and visitors are welcome to slip in quietly. The grounds are a useful refuge from the chaos of the surrounding streets.
