Cathedral of Iquitos, Gothic Revival cathedral in Iquitos, Peru.
The Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist stands at the intersection of Arica and Putumayo streets, featuring vertical lines and pointed arches throughout its structure.
Construction of the cathedral began in 1911 after demolishing an earlier temple, with the main building completed in 1919 and its tower added in 1924.
The cathedral holds regular Catholic services and remains a central gathering point for religious celebrations in the largest city of the Peruvian Amazon.
Visitors can access the cathedral daily through its main entrance, where they will find religious artifacts and architectural elements characteristic of neo-Gothic design.
The cathedral contains an underground crypt and stands as the tallest religious building in the Loreto region of Peru.
