Visit Jakarta Cathedral, an impressive Roman Catholic place of worship in the center of the city. Consecrated in 1901, the cathedral displays an attractive Neo-Gothic architectural style, with two main spires stretching high into the sky, assisting the effect of the symmetrical facade. Head inside to see the Belgian-made Neo-Gothic-style organ and arresting vaulted ceilings. An upstairs museum details the history of the cathedral and Christianity in the country.

  • Gothic style church. Access was easy and best to visit during day time when the crowd is less. Would recommend hiring a guide though. I had a good one which showed me various tourist attractions in Jakarta for less that 40$. Her contact : +62 882-6145-3614
  • I never miss to visit the Cathedral whenever I am in Jakarta. Always loved how serene and peaceful here. Anybody can visit the Cathedral but the church closes around 7pm but you can still visit the grounds until 9pm to see it from outside or take photos.
