Also known in town as the lemon-squeezer, this church is a landmark not to be missed when visiting Maputo. Its shape is particular and recognizable among all. The contrast of its materials: rough concrete and delicate stain steel is to be mentioned. Its games of light created by the disposition of the stain glasses inside is adding to the particularities of the place. The church is open to the public for visits but also for worshipping.

The cathedral is what it's called. Unique, spectacular, a true work of centuries-old architecture. The exterior view offers an unimaginable beauty, but the interior of the cathedral is where the imagination went beyond. I recommend that you visit the interior to get an idea of what I mean.
