A closer look
Discover All Saints Cathedral
Known locally as Patthar Girja, All Saints Cathedral is a landmark of Civil Lines. Its Gothic design is the work of architect William Emerson.
Approach this as a living place of worship. Take time to appreciate the exterior, and enquire about visitor access before entering or making a special journey to see the interior.
What to look for
Stone and proportion
Study the pointed arches and the changing light on the stone facade.
An active cathedral
Services take priority over sightseeing. A quiet, considerate visit is part of the experience.
A Civil Lines stop
Include the cathedral in a broader city day with the museum or Khusro Bagh.
A little planning goes a long way
- Confirm visitor entry with the cathedral; worship and sightseeing access can differ.
- Keep voices low, dress respectfully and ask before taking photographs indoors.
- Use a safe crossing when approaching the cathedral from surrounding roads.
