Review: Across the road from the Mesjid Istiqlal Mosque you'll find the St Mary's Cathedral, known today by the locals as “Kathedral”.

    The nice thing about the presence of the Cathedral here is that it really is within a stones-throw of the Istiqlal Mosque as a symbol of religious unity within the country. The Cathedral was originally built in 1810 at this spot but had to be rebuilt after it was burnt to the ground in 1826.

    The second Cathedral was then finished in 1830 and in 1882 the two towers were added to the front before it was again reduced to ruin in 1890. The following year the rebuilding started again, but faltered several times before it was finally completed in its current form in 1901.
