Cathedral of Juli, Baroque church building in Juli, Puno, Peru

The Cathedral of Juli features a stone structure with a three-section facade, Renaissance tower, dome, and pinnacles in the main square of Juli.

Construction of the Cathedral was completed in 1751 under the supervision of Peruvian architect Simon de Asto, following the architectural patterns of that period.

The interior contains silver fixtures, marble altars, paintings from Cusco and Italian schools, and venerated images including the Lord of Quinary and Virgin of Remedios.

The Cathedral serves as the seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Puno and maintains regular religious services for the local community at -16.212645 latitude.

A fire in 1930 destroyed numerous carved figures, leading to the Cathedral's temporary closure until its reopening in 1964 after extensive restoration work.
