The tall, imposing facade of Mahajanga's Catholic cathedral is one of a few modern buildings in the city. The boxy white structure, built in the mid-1900s, dominates the garden area of Mangarivotra. A maze of rectangles marks the façade, and vented segments set in vertical lines add artistic character to what might otherwise look like a stack of blocks.
