Co-Cathedral of St. Joseph, Catholic cathedral and national monument in Tadó, Colombia
The Co-Cathedral of St. Joseph is a religious center in Tadó featuring traditional Colombian architecture with two prominent towers rising above the town. The building displays classic architectural features typical of religious structures in the region.
The building received its co-cathedral status on April 30, 1990, when Pope John Paul II established the Roman Catholic Diocese of Istmina-Tadó. This designation elevated its role in religious administration for the Chocó department.
The cathedral serves as the spiritual heart of Tadó, where residents gather for worship and local celebrations that shape community life. You can observe how daily religious practices unfold within its walls and in the surrounding plaza.
The building is accessible to visitors during worship times, with easy access from the town center. Keep in mind local service times and wear appropriate clothing as you would at any religious site.
Between 1999 and 2006, the structure underwent major restoration work to preserve its architectural features and structural stability. These efforts helped it maintain its historical character despite the challenging tropical climate.
