I was in Tahiti on 22nd August, 2017, a beautiful but pretty hot day, and while out site-seeing was looking for the US Embassy (McDonald's) and came across the Papeete Catholic Cathedral, know as Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Papeete. Not at all far from the waterfront, it's a modest but nice Cathedral. It was built by French missionaries in the period 1848-1875 making it the oldest church in Tahiti. Also of interest is that it's the last remaining examples of the early colonial architecture of Papeete. The gaily coloured with red roof, not to mention the distinctive red spire on the church tower certainly make this cathedral a stand out in the centre of the capital.

The Cathedral has benefited from several restorations over the years and it will be interesting to see how it holds its place in years to come as central Papeete develops, as I'm sure that it will.

ps. Walking a little further down the road from the Cathedral I eventually found the rather uninteresting...

Catedral de Notre Dame (em francês: Cathédrale de Papeete Notre-Dame de L'Immaculée Conception) é uma igreja do século XIX, que serve como a catedral da Arquidiocese Católica Romana de Papeete, inaugurada em 1875. É a igreja católica mais antiga do Tahiti e um dos últimos exemplares remanescentes do início de arquitetura colonial de Papeete. No século 19, a França começou a expandir seu império colonial na Ásia e Ilhas do Pacífico, declarando o Reino do Taiti um protetorado em 1842. Missionários franceses começaram a chegar no mesmo ano e um vicariato apostólico foi criado em 9 de maio de 1848. A construção da catedral começou provavelmente após este tempo e foi concluída em 1875. A entrada da catedral possui um campanário vermelho no centro, que está voltado para o Monte Aorai. Acentuada características da mistura de estilos europeus e polinésio local em sua concepção. Isso é claramente demonstrado em uma escultura em madeira de tamanho natural de Maria e Jesus que segura uma fruta-pão. Esta obra de arte originária das Ilhas Marquesas. Além dos acéteres (recipiente da água benta) serem de concha natural. Tem uma peculiar representação artística da Via Crucis criada por Yuel Durnad e St. Fond, as estações incorporam tanto a cultura taitiana quanto a romanas no estilo de se vestir, mas apenas retratam pessoas polinésias nas cenas da Paixão. O estilo artístico das pinturas foi influenciado por Paul Gauguin. Não deixe de levar um postal que são oferecidos na própria igreja e, é claro, de deixar uma...

Petite cathédrale de Papeete que j’ai visitée hier après-midi pour la première fois. La scène de Jesus sur le chemin de croix est intéressante car elle est représentée par la culture tahitienne : les visages des personnages sont tahitiens, il y a un coq ici et là comme on en voit souvent sur l’île de Tahiti et d’autres aspects de la culture tahitienne. Une cathédrale qui a aussi des SDF qui se réfugient à l’intérieur pour prier peut-être.
