Cathedral of the Holy Name is the Catholic Cathedral of Mumbai. It is the headquarters of the Archdiocese of Mumbai. It is the seat of the Archbishop of Mumbai. The Mumbai (then Bombay) Catholic Christian life was centred around the Fort Chapel in Medows Street, which was constructed in 1767. At the beginning of the 20th century, the little Chapel was unable to accommodate the large congregation during the Sunday Masses. The foundation stone of the church was laid on 9 July 1902 by the then archbishop Dalhoff and it was opened to the public on 15 January 1905. The church was designed and constructed by W.A. Chambers, an established architect of the firm of Messrs. Gostling, Chambers and Fritchley. The complex consisted of three similar-styled buildings. At the centre was the church, the school on the north side and the residence for the clergy on the south side. On 3 March 1964, it was granted the status of a Cathedral. The cathedral follows the gothic style of architecture, with two towers containing the belfries surmounted by octagonal spires which, like the main roof are covered with Mangalore tiles. The interiors are well laid with ceilings and the walls are covered with frescoes and geometrical designs. The beautifully carved marble altar is surrounded by intricately designed stained glass windows. In 1998 the cathedral received the status of a heritage building.
