Sucre Cathedral, Renaissance cathedral in Sucre, Bolivia.

The Metropolitan Cathedral features three naves covered with ribbed vaults, a Mannerist portal supported by Tuscan columns, and a baroque entrance facing the plaza.

Located at Plaza 25 de Mayo, the cathedral holds regular Mass services on Thursdays and Sundays at 9:00 AM for both residents and visitors.
