Catedral de Riohacha, Catholic cathedral in central Riohacha, Colombia.
The Catedral Nuestra Señora de los Remedios features Romanesque architecture with three naves, white facades, and a central bell tower at Plaza José Prudencio Padilla.
Construction of the cathedral began in 1835 under architect P. Juan Bautista Coluccini and reached completion in 1852, replacing an earlier church structure.
The cathedral holds daily mass services and remains a central gathering point for religious ceremonies, including traditional candlelit processions honoring the Virgin.
Located at Calle 2 #7-13, the cathedral offers masses Monday through Saturday at 6:30 AM and 6:30 PM, with additional Sunday services at 7:00 AM.
According to local records from 1663, displaying the Virgin's image during a severe storm reportedly calmed the turbulent seas threatening the city.
