The Assumption Cathedral,cathedral church of the Diocese of Kingstown.
Its history dates back to a first structure erected in stages from 1823[3] although the present building was completed in the 1930s decade. It was declared Co-cathedral of the Diocese of Bridgetown-Kingstown in 1971 and since 1989 is Kingstown's Cathedral. It stands out for its striking architecture which is a combination of styles (Moorish, Romanesque, Byzantine, Venetian and Flemish) that strongly contrasts with the rest of the city.
It is under the pastoral responsibility of Bishop Gerard County.[4]
