The cathedral is located on the spot of the past slave market, which was shut down in 1873. It is positioned on the eastern side of Stone Town and is the oldest Christian Church in East Africa. This grand cathedral was built in 1877 by the Universities Mission in Central Africa (UMCA) after the slave trade was eradicated. Die kruis in die kerk is gemaak van die boom waaronder Livingstone oorspronklike begrawe is in Zambië.
