St. John Cathedral

The cathedral stands at the heart of Jinotega city with neoclassical interiors, featuring wooden retables, statuary works, and bell towers overlooking the city streets.

The religious site originated in 1752 with a straw structure, followed by a permanent building in 1805 and underwent substantial reconstructions in 1882 and the 1950s.

The cathedral functions as the primary center of Roman Catholic worship in the region, where indigenous Cacaopera and Nahua communities maintain their traditions.

Located on Jinotega's Main Avenue at 1,003 meters elevation, the cathedral opens daily for services and receives visitors throughout the temperate climate conditions.

The cathedral serves as the episcopal seat of the Diocese of Jinotega, established through Pope John Paul II's papal bull 'Quod Praelatura Xinotegana' in 1991.
