The view from From Pansodan Overpass near Yangon Central Station, (here just one of) St. Mary’s Cathedral’s twin neo-Gothic spires stand out above the city’s vibrant mix of colonial and modern buildings. The cathedral, Myanmar’s largest Catholic church, was designed by Dutch architect Jos Cuypers and completed in 1911. Its red brick facade, stunning stained-glass windows, and peaceful gardens attract both worshippers and visitors. Today, St. Mary’s remains a sanctuary for reflection and community amid Myanmar’s ongoing challenges, representing faith and endurance in central Yangon.
