CATHEDRAL AND SEMINARY
MONGOMO, EQUATORIAL GUINEA

AREA 1.410 MQ
Volume 10.080 mc

This cathedral, also know as Mongomo Basilica, is a contemporary church whose architecture reminisces the long tradition of Catholic churches.
The 2.000 MQ Latin cross plan accommodates 800 churchgoers. It consists of an entrance porch, a
chamber and a transept to the ends of which we find the secondary altar on one side and baptismal font on the other. At the bottom, we find an apse
containing the main altar. The most important space of the church is the 39-meter high dome crowned by a lantern. Adjoining this, we find the seminary,
a real school designed to accommodate
40 seminarians. The building has two levels and includes 40 rooms and the Bishop’s apartments, the classrooms and the library, a chapel for prayer,
the canteen, a recreation room, and a computer room. These rooms overlook a cloister directly connected to the Basilica.
