Why to visit All Saints Cathedral

It is regarded as one of the finest Anglican churches in Asia. All Saints Cathedral Church, designed by Sir William Emerson in 1871, is one of the most sacred sites in Prayagraj. The church is 31 metres tall and features outstanding Gothic revival architecture from the 13th century.

The chapel was built with cool, comfortable interiors in mind throughout the sweltering summer months. Numerous plaques in the cathedral also record the demise of various British citizens for a variety of reasons while they were ruling India.

The green grass and flora that surround the church add to the area's charm. Another notable aspect of this place is the Victoria Tower, also known as the Lantern Tower. The locals also call All Saints Cathedral Church "Patthar Girja," which translates to "Church of Stone."
