KKKT Azania-Front-Cathedral — Attraction in Dar es-Salaam

This is a beautiful historic church. Unfortunately, my visit was marred by The RUDEST Person I encountered in Tanzania!

When I arrived at the church, there were a couple of prayer circles going on.

That's very beautifull and interresing place. You can visit the interior or you can just ask the staff to guide you. If you choose second option you will be shown the attic, described how the vault had been built and - the most important - you will be able to visit the tower, admire the clock mechanism and watch Dar Es Salaam panorama from the highest point of the tower where bells are located. I strongly recommend to other visitors...
