Sacred Heart Cathedral

This guide to Sacred Heart Cathedral in Delhi follows Father Luke Vannucci, an Italian friar who stepped off a train in 1919 into a half-built colonial capital with no land, no funds and one instruction from his archbishop. You'll hear how he spent years securing the plot, how British officers and Delhi residents both funded the construction, and how architect Henry Medd shaped its Italian-style towers and arches. It traces the years of building through to the day the doors finally opened to a crowd that crossed every religious line in the city.
