The landmark of Cap-Haïtien is its white cathedral: dominating the main square, it is also a reference point on your walks through Cap-Haïtien, and certainly merits a visit.
After the successful revolution and achieving independence in 1804, it took several decades for Haiti to establish a Catholic hierarchy again. The second half of the 19th century saw the preparation of the building of a new Cathedral, which was finished at the beginning of the 20th century. This Cathedral of Notre Dame is arguably the most beautiful of the country, and almost looks out of place in the context of an otherwise more run-down town. We never saw the main entrance open, and when we finally visited the cathedral, we entered through a door in the right-hand side.
