St George's cathedral, Freetown

3.6

#1 of 6 in Historic Sites in Sierra Leone

Church Tourist Spot

Attend a mass at St George's cathedral, which stands as a landmark to the British colonial rule of Sierra Leone. Still in use today, the 1828 church beckons locals, who see the building as their spiritual haven in the heart of an urban environment. If you attend when church is in session, you may be treated to a performance by the choir and a view of the intricate stained-glass windows over the altar. Certain dress codes apply, as it is a religious center for many people. Put St George's cathedral into our Freetown trip planner and find out what's close by, where to stay, and where to head next.

  You can look around inside and outside and sign a guestbook that has been around for decades and has been signed by royalty!  more »

  到了這裡，我發現教堂是用磚砌成的。它是一個大教堂，是西非最宏偉的教堂之一。雖然建於1820年代，但維護得很好。現在，它是英國國教的總部。在這裡，我看到一大群崇拜者正在參加葬禮。因此，我沒有機會進入教堂。但有一名教會工作人員帶我在教堂外面逗了一下，並介紹教堂的背景和運作。  more »

  Here, I found that the church was made of swashes. It is a cathedral and one of the most magnificent churches in West Africa. It was built in the 1820s, but it was very good. Now, it is the church of British church. Here, I saw a large group of worshippers burying. So I didn't go into the church. But there was a church worker who teased me outside the church and introduced the church's background and work.
