Catedral de Cumaná, Catholic cathedral in Cumaná, Venezuela.
The Metropolitan Cathedral of Cumaná stands on Rivas Street, facing Plaza Andrés Eloy Blanco, featuring neoclassical architectural elements and wooden altarpieces from Spain.
The cathedral's foundation dates to 1519 with the Diocese of Paria establishment, while the current structure began construction in the eighteenth century as Seo Cordis Iesu.
Religious ceremonies, community gatherings, and traditional celebrations throughout the year make this cathedral a central point for local spiritual expression.
The cathedral maintains regular mass schedules and welcomes visitors during daylight hours, offering guided tours of its religious art collection and architectural features.
Following the 1929 earthquake that partially destroyed the structure, Monsignor Breckman supervised its restoration using wood from Cariaco mountains, completed in 1936.
