All Saints' Church is a historic Anglican place of worship located within the Kohati Gate of the old walled city of Peshawar. Constructed in 1883, the church is architecturally known for its synthesis of Christian liturgical requirements with Islamic Saracenic aesthetics, which resulted in a structure that bears resemblance to a mosque, complete with minarets and a central dome.
