It was built between 1858 - 1882 by an architect, Fray Vincent Munoz after the original was destroyed in an earthquake. The Cathedral has an enormous tower and red and gold paintwork. The wildly elaborate building is eye catching with its pink and yellow painted facade and exclusively ordinate interior. It is a great example of lavish neocolonial style.
