Catedral de Hermosillo, Catholic cathedral in Hermosillo, Mexico

The Cathedral of the Assumption in Hermosillo has an eclectic facade combining Baroque and Neo-Gothic elements, with two bell towers, a clock above two pointed-arch choir windows, and a wavy top with a balustrade and stone jars. Inside are three naves, Corinthian columns, and a Neoclassical decoration; the main altarpiece stands out.

A small chapel from the 18th century first stood on this site; the present church was built because the congregation had outgrown it, with backing from Bishop Herculano López de la Mora. It was consecrated in 1908 while still unfinished and with one of the two towers missing. The dome was only completed in 1963.

The cathedral is dedicated to the Virgin of the Assumption. Its forecourt faces a paved area with trees and benches, and a kiosk by the cathedral sells snacks; people rest there watching children play in the park and sometimes feed the pigeons. The building links east to Plaza Zaragoza and southeast to Plaza Bicentenario.

The cathedral faces a paved area with trees and benches, and links east to Plaza Zaragoza and southeast to Plaza Bicentenario, so it can be worked into a walk between the two squares. A kiosk by the cathedral sells snacks; visitors often sit in the park watching children play or feeding the pigeons.

The two side entrances flanking the main portal repeat its two-body layout but end in triangular pediments with a medallion inside; the second body of each holds empty niches framed by paired columns. The main facade instead carries a clock above the two pointed choir windows.
