Our Lady of Mercy Cathedral, Bahía Blanca, Roman Catholic cathedral in Bahía Blanca, Argentina.
The cathedral features a symmetrical facade with two lateral towers, crowned by a central sculptural group depicting the Virgin Mary with angels.
The initial church structure, built in 1834 using carob tree trunks, adobe, and straw, served the early Catholic community of the frontier settlement.
The cathedral houses the remains of Colonel Ramón Estomba, the founder of Bahía Blanca, connecting the religious structure to the city's origins.
Religious services occur multiple times daily, with weekday masses at 8:00 AM and 7:00 PM, and additional weekend services to accommodate the congregation.
Five bells, crafted by the Chiappani company from Trento, Italy, were installed at different heights in 1908 within one of the lateral towers.
