Because it was such a quick visit I didn’t have enough time to appreciate it as it is needed. It’s beautiful outside and in. I guess I was shocked with the size of it. But will be going back.
Their interor decorator really hosed the place down with gold leaf. Numerous additional shrines on either side. Spectacular altar. Tours available, but no brochures. Right off the main plaza.
Amazing - but be sure and climb the stairs to the rooftop for a great view of town. Perched high above the central plaza amid the blue domes is well worth the climb.
This "new" cathedral was begin around 1887, but wasn't consecrated until 1967, and still isn't finished -- in fact it won't be finished as a design flaw means the towers won't support any more weight, so the final tier won't be built and the bells won't be installed. But it's…
I like to visit this church because it is located at a plaza and have many places to eat and visit. The inside of the church is beautiful too.
