On the same street....

2007.08.24
Roman Catholic St Peter and St Paul Cathedral...

...built in 1885 of wood

It is thought to be the largest wooden building in the Americas, however it is currently closed for repairs and restoration

A little further down, on the same street and one next to the other...

...the mosque Amadya...

(it seems they also repairing some parts here....)



... and the synagogue


I don't think you can find everywhere in the world, and on the same side of one street, a roman catholic church, a mosque and a synagogue... in Paramaribo, Suriname, you can see it...

jendayee Ank, The name of the streets may be different, but you just have to go straight and you get the 3 of them, right ? That's what I did in a taxi :)
