It is located close to the waterfront esplanade of the capital city on the rue du Général de Gaulle. The construction of the cathedral began in the middle of the 19th century and it opened in 1875. It is the oldest Catholic church in Tahiti and one of Papeete's last remaining examples of early colonial architecture.〔 〕 ==History== In the 19th century, France began expanding its colonial empire into Asia and the Pacific Islands, declaring the Kingdom of Tahiti a protectorate in 1842. French missionaries began arriving in the same year and an apostolic vicariate was established on May 9, 1848. Construction of the cathedral most likely started after this time and it was completed in 1875.〔 Named after its famous Parisian counterpart,〔 〕 the cathedral was built near the waterfront in midtown Papeete.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Notre Dame Cathedral, Papeete」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
