Cathedral of Chihuahua

Cathedral of Chihuahua, Baroque cathedral in Chihuahua, Mexico.

The Cathedral of Chihuahua is a baroque church in Chihuahua City, Mexico, with a main facade built from ochre quarry stone across three levels. Columns decorated with plant motifs and Corinthian capitals frame the entrance, while the twin towers rise in three decreasing sections.

The first stone was laid on 21 June 1725 by Bishop Benito Crespo y Monroy, with José de la Cruz finalising the plans before his death in 1734. Bernardo del Carpio began the towers in 1758, and the bells cast in 1730 were hung in 1780 under Melchor Guaspe. Work finished in 1792; the church became a cathedral in 1891 and an archdiocese in 1958.

The chapel door on the south side of the nave carries a sculpture of Our Lady of Regla with her supplicants, Saints Francis of Assisi and Rita of Cascia, the patrons of the city, above Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in the fiery furnace. The Blessed Sacrament Chapel behind it mixes baroque and rococo design.

The church stands on Plaza de Armas in central Chihuahua and is easy to reach on foot from the square. Visitors can view the facade from the plaza and enter the interior when the doors are open.

The twin bell towers reach about 40 meters (roughly 130 feet) in height and show three stepped levels. This design sets them apart from other baroque churches in Mexico, which often feature only a single tower.
