Mogadishu Cathedral was a Gothic Revival and Norman-style Catholic cathedral built in 1928 by Italian colonial authorities in Mogadishu, Somalia. It served as the seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Mogadiscio from 1928 until 1991. Much of the structure was destroyed in 2008 by al-Shabaab; in 2013, the diocese announced plans to refurbish the damaged building.
