Unique white towers
At first glance, the architecture of the two 60-meter high towers catches the eye. Their lower part bears the typical features of neo-Gothic architecture and is built of stone.
However, the top part is made up of very unusual white pointed spires, which were the inspiration for the minaret of the opposite Istiqlal Mosque.
The interior of the cathedral is notable for its beautiful wooden ceiling.
