Cathedral in Brazzaville





Looking around for old pictures of Brazzaville I came across these old undated postcards. The photos looked familiar, so today I took a picture of the Cathedrale de Sacre Coeur, and sure enough it is one and the same; the other pictures are of the exterior statues, and in the adjoining cemetery the oldest markers are from the late 1800's. The graves there appear to be those of nuns and priests both French and Congolese who have served the parish and community.
