The Emmanuel Cathedral is a religious building that follows the Roman or Latin rite and functions as the headquarters of the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Durban (Archidioecesis Durbaniana) which was created in 1951 with the bull "Suprema Nobis" of Pope Pius XII.

It was built to replace an old church dedicated to St. Joseph who had been in use since 1881. The first stone was laid by Bishop Charles Jolivet in January 1902 and the temple was officially dedicated in November 1904. Some parts of the old church were joined to the Emmanuel Cathedral.
