The focal point of a Catholic educational compound is this 1872-vintage cathedral distinctively plastered emerald green. If you're not here for daily mass at 6am (also 4pm on Sunday), friendly Father William, the Chinese-Kayin priest will happily let you peek inside.
A short walk further south, just off Merchant St, is another colonial-age religious building: the Zerbadi Sunni Jamae Mosque . The dilapidated building has a ruinous charm.
