I'm an atheist, but I do like cathedrals and church history, so it was interesting that my guide took me here. One of the things I loved was the whiteness of the building inside and out and its simplicity.

Full disclosure here... I have a thing for churches. This cathedral is a beautiful one both inside and outside. I attended mass a few Sundays ago while visiting Encarnacion a couple of weeks ago and was fortunate enough to experience the inside of the cathedral as it was meant to be.

The concert was performed by young adults (high school age I believe) and I was floored by how good they were.

Needless to say and as you can tell, I am quite fond of the cathedral.…
