St. James the Apostle Cathedral, Santiago de Veraguas, Roman Catholic cathedral in Santiago de Veraguas, Panama.
The St. James the Apostle Cathedral features traditional architectural elements with a prominent central nave and two lateral towers that define its exterior structure.
The cathedral became the mother church of the Diocese of Santiago de Veraguas in 1963 following an official decree issued by Pope Paul VI.
Local residents gather at the cathedral for important religious celebrations, including the annual festivities dedicated to St. James, the patron saint.
The cathedral maintains regular mass schedules throughout the week and offers special services for baptisms, weddings, and religious education programs.
In 2015, the cathedral held a memorial mass when the remains of former Panamanian President Juan Demóstenes Arosemena were transferred to a local mausoleum.
