Cathedral Basilica photo copyrighted by: Alan Cogan The Cathedral was built between 1730 and 1760. The facade, depicting Christ and
the 12 apostles, is one of the finest examples of Churrigueresque architecture in Mexico. The rosette window in the center shows especially masterful carving. Inspired by the Holy Trinity, the cathedral has 3 naves, 3 doorways, 3 levels on the main facade with 3 columns defining the niches. The interior of the cathedral is nowhere near so spectacular, though in former times it included a font of solid silver,
donated by a local countess.
