Paroquia Santo Antonio

Reviewed By MaryleneS - Maputo, Mozambique

Also known in town as the lemon-squeezer, this church is a landmark not to be missed when visiting Maputo. Its shape is particular and recognizable among all. The contrast of its materials: rough concrete and delicate stain steel is to be mentioned. Its games of light created by the disposition of the stain glasses inside is adding to the particularities of the place. The church is open to the public for visits but also for worshipping.

A very charming nature reserve close to Maputo with a great variety of animals to be seen, plenty of signs warning about the elephants, although one elephant was having a bad day, lovely visit.

This was an amazing stop! The market is gorgeous with vendors selling everything you can think of. The market is also surrounded by a nursery and has a few restaurants/cafe/bars which serve nice cold beers on tap. The kids area needs a little TLC but our toddler enjoyed walking around.

The cathedral is what it's called. Unique, spectacular, a true work of centuries-old architecture. The exterior view offers an unimaginable beauty, but the interior of the cathedral is where the imagination went beyond. I recommend that you visit the interior to get an idea of ​​what I mean.
