Welcome to our magnificent cathedral, a true jewel of the city that we locals affectionately call “La Manquita,” or the “One-Armed Lady,” because of its famously unfinished second tower. As you step inside, you'll be enveloped by a sense of peace, surrounded by soaring columns and stunning Renaissance and Baroque details. Don't miss the intricately carved choir stalls; they are a masterpiece. The cathedral is right in the heart of the historic center, so it's an easy and essential stop on your explorations.
