Cathedral of Florida, Cathedral in Florida, Uruguay
The Cathedral of Florida features Renaissance Revival architecture with classical columns, arched windows, and symmetrical proportions characteristic of late 19th-century religious buildings.
The construction of this religious edifice concluded in 1887, replacing a previous chapel that had been elevated to parish status in 1805.
The cathedral holds the image of Our Lady of Luján, declared patron saint of Uruguay by Pope Pius IX in 1930, making it a national sanctuary.
Regular masses take place daily in the cathedral, while guided tours of the building and its architectural elements occur between religious services.
The Latin inscription 'Domus Dei nostri' marks the entrance of this cathedral, which received a visit from Pope John Paul II during his 1988 pastoral journey.
