LA DOMUS




Things to know about the LA DOMUS:

La Domus is the imposing residence of the Roman Catholic priesthood in Victoria. At the time of its construction, the building was an outstanding architectural achievement.

1934 wurde es gebaut um schweizer Missionare zu beherbergen, die damals zur Diözese von Port Victoria gesandt wurden. Das prachtvolle, zweigeschossige Gebäude aus Granitfelsen beinhaltet sogar ein Aquädukt, das es mit Wasser aus einem nahe gelegenen artesischen Brunnen versorgt.

In the 1960s, a dozen Capuchin monks lived there. Today, only three priests live in La Domus , and many of the rooms are used as administrative offices. It stands in a quiet corner of the town and is a reminder of the time when there was no shortage of priests to spread the word of God in the islands.
