Overview

This imposing cathedral is the seat of the local archdiocese. Its exterior and interior demonstrate different architectural styles, having taken from 1770 until 1889 to complete. A pair of towers zealously guarding its belfries flanks the elaborate ornamental work of the facade. Inside there are paintings of the colonial period to the 19th century, as well as murals by Angel Zárraga depicting themes for the most part of the Franciscan evangelisation. It is worth visiting for its delicate beauty.

It's unforgettable!!by Yahoo | 2007-11-20 03:05:23 |

I loved el barrio antiguo, especially because this is where I met my husband, Hugo. The ambience is so young and hip that it asks nothing from other major cities. It's true you can find all kinds of music and venues to suit your likes. I highly recommend you hit all the bars on any given night and beware there is alot of eye candy everywhere. I love my Regiomontanos!!
