St. Rose Cathedral, Santa Rosa de Copán

The cathedral features intricate religious art pieces, multiple altars, and decorative elements characteristic of baroque architectural traditions throughout its structure.

Constructed between 1798 and 1803, the cathedral underwent substantial repairs in 1880 by architect Francisco Martínez following damage from an 1877 earthquake.

The cathedral serves as the mother church of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Santa Rosa de Copán and maintains regular religious services for the local community.

Located at the center of Santa Rosa de Copán, the cathedral opens its doors daily for prayers, masses, and religious ceremonies throughout the week.

The structure survived two major earthquakes in 1877 and 1915, leading to reconstruction works that maintained its original baroque architectural elements.
