The St. Louis Cathedral, also Saint Louis Capuchin Cathedral is a Latin Catholic church in downtown Beirut, located to the north of the Grand Serail. Built in 1864 by the Capuchin missionaries and named it in the honor of King Louis IX of France. The church is highly noticeable for its sand-stone facades, rose-colored wooden windows, and its new towering campanile.
the Capuchin Cathedral was designed by architects Luigi Cavelli and Edmond Duthoit, and built between 1864 and 1868 in the Byzantine style. The existing bell tower was added in the 1950s.
