Cathedral of Our Lady of Peace, Trujillo, Catholic cathedral in Trujillo, Venezuela.

The Cathedral of Our Lady of Peace stands opposite Plaza Bolivar between Bolivar and Colon Avenues in downtown Trujillo, displaying Baroque architectural elements.

Construction of the cathedral began in 1630, with the main structure completed in 1662, followed by substantial renovations in 1890 during negotiations between Simon Bolivar and Bishop Lazo.

The cathedral serves as the headquarters of the Diocese of Trujillo, established in 1957, reflecting the religious traditions of the Venezuelan Andes region.

Religious services, including regular Mass and confessions, take place in the cathedral, which opens its doors to both local worshippers and visitors throughout the week.

The Venezuelan government designated this religious building as a National Historical Monument in 1960, recognizing its architectural and historical value to the nation.
