Cathédrale Saint-Jean Baptise is a Roman Catholic church. It was built with concrete from 1961-1962. There is a massive stained-glass window within the church, and the church’s exterior is unique.
The church’s roof consistently goes up and down like a wave. Furthermore, there appears to be a bell tower detached from the main building, which is also unique for a bell tower.
