Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception, Mazatlán
Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception, Mazatlán, Roman Catholic cathedral basilica in Mazatlán, Mexico.
The Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception in Mazatlán is a church building featuring three equally high naves, an octagonal dome with a lantern, and two prominent towers with truncated prismatic sections topped by crosses. The interior is marked by ornate details that characterize each element of its structure.
Construction started in 1856 under Bishop Pedro Loza y Pardavé and was interrupted by French intervention before completion in 1899 under Father Miguel Lacarra. The extended building process reflects the political upheavals that Mexico experienced during that era.
The cathedral displays a blend of Gothic, Moorish, and Baroque architectural elements that reflect diverse influences in Mexican religious structures of that period. Visitors can notice these stylistic layers as they move through the interior.
The building is located in Plaza de la República in central Mazatlán and remains open daily for visitors. You can explore the interior at your own pace without worrying about restricted visiting hours.
The interior houses 28 stained glass windows, one of which features a Star of David acknowledging the local Jewish community's financial support during construction. This detail surprises many visitors and reveals the interfaith history of the city.
