The Holy Trinity Cathedral in Karachi was designed in the Florentine Renaissance style, influenced by Italian ecclesiastical architecture.
Among the most refined features of the church are the stained glass windows located at the back of the apse
These three elongated vertical windows are housed within semi-circular arches, with the central window slightly taller than the two flanking ones.
The interior of the cathedral is designed as a tall, grand hall. The roof is supported by a series of large semi-circular arches that run along the length of the hall, each resting on substantial circular columns.
The stained glass, dated 1879, is attributed to the artist H. Hughes of London and is recognized as one of the cathedral’s most distinctive and beautiful architectural elements.
