Our Lady of Peace Cathedral, Baja California Sur

Our Lady of Peace Cathedral, Baja California Sur, Catholic cathedral in La Paz, Mexico.

Our Lady of Peace Cathedral is a Catholic church in the center of La Paz, Baja California Sur, built in the second half of the 19th century under Bishop Juan Francisco Escalante y Moreno. Its exterior is sober neoclassical, with a simple facade and two towers resembling those of North American churches. Inside are 18th-century baroque altarpieces brought from other missions that were abandoned.

Construction of the cathedral began in the nineteenth century under Bishop Francisco Escalante y Moreno, after Jesuits had established earlier missions in the region. The church replaced older religious structures at the site and became the new spiritual center of La Paz.

The eighteenth-century baroque altarpieces inside the cathedral were brought from other missions that were abandoned, not demolished. They are the main colonial artwork a visitor can see in La Paz, and their carved retables contrast with the sober neoclassical exterior of the church.

The cathedral can be visited during daylight hours through the main entrance on the main plaza and holds regular masses throughout the week. Visitors should check mass times before arriving, as these may affect access to certain areas.

The twin towers are visible from various points across the city and serve as visual reference points for many residents and visitors. This prominent role in the city skyline makes them an instantly recognizable landmark of La Paz.
