The cathedral is named after the Nativity of Mary. The construction of the Church of the Nativity of Mary began in 1880. The building was completed and blessed on 7 June 1884. On the occasion of dedication by Pope Leo XIII, a great image of the Virgin Mary was donated to the church with baby Jesus. During the Second World War the church was reduced to a dilapidated state and repairs were necessary that were completed in 1918.
