5 Churches & Cathedrals in Mahe Island That You Shouldn't Miss
The Seychelles largest and main island, Mahe is home to the capital of Victoria and about 70,000 people (almost 90% of the nation's total). Still, the island retains its idyllic beauty, with 3,000-foot mountains and scores of gorgeous beaches. Many plants, including the so-called Jellyfish Tree and several rare orchids, are unique to Mahe's shores. The Seychelles Natural History Museum, the Botanical Gardens and the Codevar Craft Centre, all in Victoria, are not to be missed.

This is one of the largest church complexes in Victoria. It has been around since 1936 and has been well kept and refurbished over the years. The interior is quite nice with many stained glass windows alternating between old style and modern art. At the rear of the building is a beautiful single person spiral staircase to access to loft (closed to the public). BOTTOM LINE: Very much loved seeing this historical cathedral and its grounds. Lots of natural light everywhere. Very well maintained and a nice break from the hustle and bustle of the city. RECOMMEND SITE to visit when exploring Victoria. MY RATING: 9/10.
