Cathedral of the Holy Cross

Anglican cathedral on Cathedral Hill, built as Lusaka became Zambia's civic capital

The Cathedral of the Holy Cross is Lusaka's main Anglican cathedral and one of the city's more formal civic landmarks. Built in 1962 on Cathedral Hill, it became a setting for national ceremonies as well as ordinary worship, which gives it a public role beyond the congregation.

The architecture is restrained, with clean modern lines rather than colonial Gothic. It is a worthwhile short stop if you are already visiting the nearby museum and government district, or if you are interested in how Lusaka presented itself around independence.
