Mata'Utu Cathedral

Anchoring the heart of the capital, Mata’Utu Cathedral stands as the most significant religious landmark in Wallis and Futuna. Officially the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption, it was constructed from hand-chiselled blue volcanic stone and coral beginning in 1951 under the Marists. Its striking twin towers and blue Maltese cross dominate the skyline, blending European ecclesiastical design with Pacific identity in a powerful expression of faith and heritage.
