ARCHITECT: FATHER CLAEYS (1928)
The Immaculate Conception Co-Cathedral is a Catholic cathedral built in 1928 on the east side of Independence Park in Basseterre, St. Kitts and Nevis.
The construction of this cathedral followed a convoluted history of churches on the island.
The stone architecture of the exterior envelope is nicely done and the interior is clean and uncluttered.
It is worth a short visit.
