Dedicated to the Italian Cardinal Charles Borromeo, this church was erected in 1830 on the ashes of the previous one, burnt by the English, during Christmas Eve 1799, when the island was recaptured. The building was financed by the Signares of Gorée. One appreciates its simple architecture, its square with columns overlooking a quiet square. Every year, the church hosts the island's patron saint's day, the 4th of November or the following Sunday, if this date does not fall on a Sunday.

Sur une place ombragée ce monument possède un façade remarquable par ses colonnades et un intérieur aéré et clair.
Un détour à ne pas manquer pour un moment de repos
