amazing church
Beautiful cathedral in Cayenne. I absolutely adored the painting of the crucification. Something about the rather buff characters added a charm to the painting. Overall, I enjoyed my visit here
Very little interest from the outsider or the inside.

Know before you go

Reviews

The Cathédrale Saint-Sauveur in Cayenne is a beautiful and peaceful place, with visitors admiring the painting of the crucifixion and the various saints depicted inside. The cathedral offers a spacious and airy atmosphere ideal for inner peace, with a reception desk at the entrance where candles can be purchased. Some reviewers noted that having exact change for candles could be inconvenient and suggested thicker wicks to prevent flames from easily extinguishing under hot wax. Despite these minor issues, visitors found the church amazing, lovely, and perfect for attending mass on Sundays.
