Cathedral of St Mary and All Saints
Located in downtown Harare, this Anglican cathedral serves as a place of worship and a site of architectural interest. Construction began in 1913, and the building was designed by architect Herbert Baker. Because Baker also designed the cathedrals in Johannesburg and Cape Town, the site is of particular interest to those studying colonial-era architecture in Southern Africa.
