Our Lady of Perpetual Help Cathedral, El Vigia, Cathedral in El Vigia, Venezuela
The cathedral features a prominent brick bell tower with tablets and a main entrance complemented by multiple side entrances along the facade.
Construction of the cathedral commenced on May 21, 1957, with Archbishop Acacio Chacín of Mérida laying the foundation stone for this religious edifice.
The cathedral, dedicated to Our Lady of Perpetual Help, functions as the primary religious center within the Roman Catholic Diocese of El Vigia-San Carlos del Zulia.

The architectural design by priest José Ignacio Olivares combines concrete structure with granite decorative elements on the exterior surfaces.
