Informations supplémentaires

The cathedral, work on which began in the mid-16th c. and lasted for about 200 years, is situated on the north-west side of the Zocalo (main square), facing the Plaza Alameda de Leon. Its sturdy building style, with two low towers designed to withstand earthquakes, is striking. The original clock, whose mechanism is completely carved from wood, was presented to the church by the King of Spain. The Baroque façade has finely-worked figures and bas-reliefs on its columns. The interior of the church is Neo-Classical; especially noteworthy are the eight engraved glass windows and the various chapels.
