Cathedral of La Plata, Gothic Revival cathedral in La Plata, Argentina.
The brick cathedral features two spires rising 112 meters high, standing at the center of La Plata opposite the Plaza Moreno and City Hall.
Engineer Pedro Benoit initiated construction in 1884, but financial difficulties and structural concerns delayed completion until its inauguration in 1932.
The cathedral includes 56 religious sculptures on its facade and towers, representing scenes from the lives of Mary and Jesus across the Neo-Gothic structure.
The cathedral accommodates 14,000 people within its five naves, spanning 120 meters in length and 76 meters in width across its interior space.
A modern 25-bell carillon system, installed during renovations in 1999, plays up to 90 different melodies through computer-controlled mechanisms.
