The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, also known as South Cathedral, is the first Roman Catholic cathedral to be built in Beijing. It is located at 141 Qian Men Xi Dajie.
Also called Nan Tang as well as St Mary's Church, the South Cathedral is near the Xuanwu Men subway station. It stands on the site of the former residence of the Jesuit missionary Matteo Ricci.
Matteo Ricci arrived in Beijing in 1601, bearing gifts such as clocks, mathematical instruments and a world map as gifts to the Wanli emperor. This earned him the much sought goodwill, permitting him to establish a church in Beijing.
The South Cathedral of Beijing was built in 1605. However the original building burned down in 1775. A century later it was rebuilt, but only to be destroyed during the Boxer Rebellion in 1900.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
