Holy Trinity Church

2007.09.25
Location: Fatima Jinnah Road, Karachi

Resembling more like a battlement tower than a House of God, this is the oldest and largest protestant Church in Sindh. It was begun in 1852 and consecrated in 1855. Designed by Capt. John Hill, to accommodate 800 worshipers, its square tower once rose to about 250 ft. In 1905 when the foundations showed signs of weakness, the upper portion was reduced to a height of 110 ft. The tower was also used in the past as a beacon tower, clearly visible to ships approaching the Karachi harbor.
