Metropolitan Basilica Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception and San Felipe and Santiago
Metropolitan Basilica Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception and San Felipe and Santiago, Roman Catholic cathedral in Ciudad Vieja, Uruguay.
The neoclassical structure features three naves, a central dome, and two towers that frame the entrance portal of the Metropolitan Cathedral.
Construction of the cathedral began in 1790, replacing an earlier brick church from 1740, and the building was officially consecrated in 1804.
The cathedral houses the remains of notable figures, including Uruguay's first Cardinal, Antonio María Barbieri, and former President Venancio Flores.
The Metropolitan Cathedral welcomes visitors Monday through Friday from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM and provides wheelchair access throughout the building.
An image of the Virgin of the Thirty-Three, the patron saint of Uruguay, occupies a dedicated side altar within the cathedral.
