St Mary's Cathedral and School Frontage
Dark stone and two contrasting towers make a striking neighbour to Kingstown’s pale Anglican cathedral.
The story behind the place
The Cathedral of the Assumption, often called St Mary’s, serves Kingstown’s Catholic community. Its dark stone frontage combines a simpler square tower with a more ornamented tower and pointed openings. This view includes the adjoining school frontage visible in the reference scene. Look for the contrast between the towers rather than expecting a matching pair. The parish’s patronal feast celebrates the Assumption of Mary, the dedication that gives the cathedral its name.
