About this picture: The Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption (French: Cathédrale Notre-Dame de L'Assomption), often called Port-au-Prince Cathedral (French: Cathédrale de Port-au-Prince), was a cathedral in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.
Built between 1884 and 1914, it was dedicated on December 13, 1928, and became the cathedral church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Port-au-Prince.
The cathedral of Port au Prince was destroyed in the 12 January 2010 earthquake.
The roof and the towers flanking the main entrance collapsed in the 2010 Haiti earthquake, although the lower parts of the walls remain standing.
The earthquake also destroyed the nunciature and the archdiocesan offices, killing Archbishop Joseph Serge Miot instantly and Vicar General Charles Benoit later.
