Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul stands by Place Gourbeyre, a short walk from the markets. Its stone exterior is handsome, but the real interest is the iron structure inside, an engineering response to the fires, earthquakes, and hurricanes that repeatedly damaged Pointe-à-Pitre.
It is often called a cathedral, though the formal ecclesiastical history is more complicated. For travellers, the distinction matters less than the atmosphere: cool interior, high metal ribs, and a sense of a city rebuilding itself with whatever materials could stand up to the climate.
