This imposing cathedral reflects Xujiahui’s history as the earliest Western community in Shanghai, established by a Chinese Catholic, Pau Xu Guangqi, who invited Jesuits to settle here in the 17th century.
The cathedral was built in 1846 and was closed during the Cultural Revolution, but the large congregations at mass are evidence of today’s greater religious freedom. Xu was a dedicated meteorologist and he established a survey center here which is still used as Shanghai’s weather observatory.
