Holy Rosary Cathedral (Traditional Chinese: 前金天主堂; pinyin: qiánjīn tiānzhǔ táng) is the oldest Catholic church in Taiwan, located in the southern city of Kaohsiung. It is the seat of the Archbishop of Taiwan. It was first established in 1860 and rebuilt to its present dimensions in 1928. The architectural style is modeled after both Gothic and Romanesque.
The cathedral is located just east of the Love River. Mass is held daily, with English mass celebrated at 10:30 a.m. every Sunday. The cathedral is known throughout Kaohsiung for its annual Christmas Eve celebrations, which lasts the whole evening before Christmas Day.
