The Sacred Heart Cathedral, properly the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and also known as the Stone House by locals,[2] is a Gothic Revival Roman Catholic cathedral in Guangzhou ("Canton"), China. It is the seat of the Archbishop of Guangzhou. The cathedral is located at 56 Yide or Yat Tak Road, on the north bank of the Pearl River at the heart of the busy old town. It is one of the few churches in the world to be entirely built of granite, including all the walls, pillars, and towers. The site of the cathedral was originally the residence of the Viceroy of Guangdong and Guangxi Provinces in the Qing dynasty. During the Second Opium War, the residence was completely destroyed and Viceroy Ye Mingchen was captured by the British. Based on the terms of an imperial edict issued by the Daoguang Emperor in February 1846 which promised compensation for churches destroyed and properties taken from the mission, the Société des Missions Etrangères de Paris obtained the site by signing an agreement with the Qing government on January 25, 1861. In his decree of approval, the Xianfeng Emperor wrote "from now on, war should be stopped and peace be sincerely kept forever". Sacred Heart Cathedral Opening Hours
