Edifiée in 1667 and real real Goliath, the cathedral Saint-Louis undergoes during the 3 centuries successive disasters: fires, tidal wave, earthquake and cyclone.
Invincible, she comes back to life of her ashes, ever more beautiful and promising.
Today, the cathedral of Fort-de-France can be proud of its last finery drawn in the 19th century by the architect Henry Picq. Neogothic style confers on him(her,it) an elegant, light and bright silhouette, adorned with its 19 stained-glass windows. But not that! Stained-glass windows of the XIXth century of Néret, wooden pulpit sculpted, a table of precious marble communion, a cathèdre, without forgetting the huge arrow of 58,8 metres high which overhangs the cathedral and indicates(appoints) the sky.
A jewel to be discovered or to rediscover during Heritage Days.
"Strengthened(Rooted) well in the humanity history from here(by), on this martiniquaise earth, we are the ambassadors of Christ in the communion of the universal Church. "Father Jean-Michel Monconthour
