St. Joseph Cathedral, Ciudad Guzmán

The cathedral exhibits three naves of equal level, with heavy exterior buttresses supporting the lateral walls and a dome rising at the transept.

Construction of St. Joseph Cathedral began in 1866 under parish priest Antonio Zuniga Ibarra and reached completion with its consecration in October 1900.

The cathedral interior incorporates neoclassical decorations, paintings, and a central altar that houses a significant crucifix for the local Catholic community.

Located at Ramon Corona 10 in central Ciudad Guzmán, the cathedral maintains daily opening hours for worship services and visits.

The original twin towers of the cathedral experienced substantial damage during the 1985 earthquake, leading to their partial collapse.
