This was my second stop at the Immaculate Conception cathedral, located in downtown Mazatlan(centro historico). (For the record, it is a quick $1 bus ride from the Golden Zone downtown and is probably too far to WALK from that area) During this trip, I was able to stop and really take in the stunning architecture and design of the cathedral....

I am not of the Catholic faith but I was very moved by the artwork and atmosphere in this structure. It made me want to cry. It was gorgeous.

Inside, outside all so beautiful and ornate. It is an active working church so felt just a tad oafish walking through and taking oictures, no one seemed to mind however... A LOT of people doing the same thing.

Very old church in the middle of old town Mazatlan. It is still in operation. When we were there a wedding was being held. We were able to walk around the back and experience the whole ceremony. You can sit and pray or just gaze at the beauty of this magnificent work of art.

Amazing for those who enjoy history or churches. Best to go with a tour guide because there is so much history there. You can take pictures with flash since some Cathedral's will not along you to.

This is an elegant old church that has been the catherdral for over 50 years now. I attended "Stations of the Cross" on Good Friday, good "service", excellent choir. The building itself has excellent architectural detailing if that is what interests you. I love it. If you are looking for Mass, there are frequent celebrations on Sunday mornings and Sunday... More

The church was beautiful inside and but loved the park next to it for walking and siteseeing. There were little shopping booths set up and it was interesting.

Area around the cathedral was somewhat dirty and filled with a lot of beggars.Interesting to see, but not much, if any information about the cathedral and if there are tours.

The Immaculate Conception Cathedral is a great place to see. It is quite ornate and well kept. We were there for the ringing of the bell at noon. A "must see" for Mazatlan visitors.
