Luanda, Angola



A big and unexpected surprise arrived! A postcard sent written and stamped from Angola, my first card ever from there! I was so happy when I saw it. This postcard shows the Cathedral of Luanda, a Roman Catholic Cathedral in Luanda, the capital of Angola. Its construction began in 1655 and ended in 1679. It was built to replace two small chapels that existed previously there. It's the seat of the Roman Catholic Archibishop of Luanda.
Many thanks to dear Jean-Pierre for arranging this great postcard to be sent to me, and to his friend who actually sent the card! Really nice stamps used.
