San Luis Potosí Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana de San Luis Potosí) is a magnificent work of religious architecture and a showcase of sublime artwork. Come to appreciate the craftsmanship of this landmark’s contributing artists and be part of lively spiritual festivals. The cathedral sits on the site of a late 16th-century parish church. Today’s building was constructed between 1670 and 1730, with additions in the 19th and 20th centuries. The cathedral’s Baroque façade has two bell towers, one erected in the 17th century and the other in 1910 to honour Mexico’s centennial year. Each tower has three levels of Solomonic columns, which are decorated with spiraling floral designs. Glance between the towers at a smaller belfry, where a statue of the Virgin Mary stands beneath a series of three bells. Surrounding the main entrance are more examples of Solomonic columns in addition to friezes and pilasters. Look for the Carrara marble statues in the multiple niches. They represent the Twelve Apostles and are based on a collection of statues located in Rome’s Basilica of St. John Lateran. Inside, the cathedral features three naves divided by rows of grand arches and Greek-style columns. The naves’ blue-painted ceilings with swirling golden patterns evoke images of a star-filled galaxy. The Italians Claudio Molina and Giuseppe Compiani changed the interior from Baroque to neoclassical style in 1896\. See sculptures of the Doctors of the Church, St. Sebastian and Louis IX of France, the city’s patron saint. Find the cathedral on the east side of Plaza de Armas in the heart of San Luis Potosí’s historic centre. Several major city attractions are just a short walk away. Among these are Plaza del Carmen, La Paz Theatre and Alameda Park. San Luis Potosí Cathedral is open daily and admission is free. Visit in August for the Fiesta de la Virgen de la Asunción. This event celebrates the assumption of the Virgin Mary, with colourful parades and folkloric dancing. ### Popular places to visit #### Plaza de Armas Plaza de Armas is just one of the places to see in San Luis Potosi, so why not enjoy the other things to explore during your travels?
