Saint Mary's Cathedral is a cathedral and historical monument in Multan, Pakistan.[1][2]
History
Saint Mary's Cathedral was constructed in 1848 when Punjab was part of British India.[3]
Over the years, the building was deteriorated significantly. In a collaborative effort, the Pakistan Army and civil society of Multan undertook extensive renovation work to restore the cathedral.[3] Following comprehensive restoration and repair, the cathedral reopened its doors to the public in December 2013.[3] The restoration project, costing over five million rupees, was funded through contributions from the Cantonment Board Multan and civil society.[3]
