Guadalajara Cathedral, Roman Catholic cathedral in Centro, Mexico
This cathedral is a Roman Catholic church in the centre of Guadalajara in the state of Jalisco. Two slender towers rise above the facade, while a central dome covers the main nave and eleven side chapels line the interior.
Construction started in 1561 and was completed in 1618, with the original plans revised several times during the work. New towers appeared in 1854 after an earthquake destroyed the earlier spires.
The dedication celebrates the Assumption of Mary, a central belief in Catholic devotion reflected throughout the interior design. Paintings and altars express this religious conviction, shaping the space for worshippers who gather here.
The building stands on Avenida Alcalde between Morelos and Avenida Hidalgo and opens during services. Guided visits to the crypt run regularly, allowing access to the lower levels.
A glass shrine preserves the remains of a figure venerated as holy, visible to visitors in one of the side chapels. Three cardinals rest in the vaults beneath the floor, underlining the importance of this site for the Mexican Church.
