São Tomé’s Cathedral of Our Lady of Grace
Two pointed bell towers frame the pale front of São Tomé’s cathedral.
The story behind the place
The Cathedral of Our Lady of Grace is a landmark in São Tomé’s historic centre, near the Presidential Palace. The national tourism authority includes it among the city’s cultural places. Its paired towers and dark pointed roofs stand above a restrained pale facade. Look more closely at the central gable and the stone-edged arched entrance: different shapes repeat across a building that remains a place of worship.
