Guadalajara Cathedral is an impressive religious landmark in the centre of the Mexican city. Destroyed and rebuilt several times during its lifetime, the cathedral is a fascinating blend of architectural styles and has a storied past. Admire its impressive gothic towers and beautiful stained-glass windows and discover its collection of relics and artwork. Marvel at the cathedral’s neo-Gothic façade with imposing twin towers that form an iconic part of the Guadalajara skyline. The original cathedral was built in 1541 but was destroyed by fire when its thatched roof caught alight. Over the years, the cathedral has been damaged by earthquakes and the towers have been rebuilt twice. Today, the north tower is at a slight tilt and the dome is also damaged. Gaze up at the huge dome and arches from inside the church. Visit the cathedral at night to appreciate the warm glow of the church’s façade and fountain when they are bathed in light. Admire the cathedral’s altar, made from marble and silver, and the elaborate stained-glass windows imported from France. Behind the altar, see one of the largest organs in Mexico. The cathedral has three chapels, where you can quietly reflect and enjoy the serene atmosphere. See impressive artwork, such as an ivory Christ statue, oil paintings by Mexican artists and a sculpture of Virgen de la Rosa, a gift from Emperor Charles V. The cathedral is also home to the tombs of several former cardinals and bishops as well as the embalmed heart of a former Mexican president. You can find the cathedral just to the north of the city centre. It is easy to reach by tram and is a short walk from the nearest stop at Plaza Universidad. The site is surrounded by beautiful parks and sites, including the Rotonda de los Jaliscienses Ilustres monument. Combine your visit with a tour of nearby attractions, such as the Museo Regional de Guadalajara and the Palacio de Gobierno. ## Plan a trip to see Guadalajara Cathedral Price found within the past 48 hours.
