Our Lady of Chiquinquirá Cathedral, Sonsón, Catholic cathedral in Sonsón, Colombia.
The cathedral exhibits modern architecture with reinforced concrete and international-style brick construction alongside marble altars and Spanish stained glass windows.
After the devastating 1962 earthquake destroyed the original Romanesque-Gothic granite cathedral, the current structure was built between 1965 and 1996.
The cathedral serves as the mother church of the Diocese of Sonsón-Rionegro, hosting regular religious ceremonies and community gatherings.
Located on the western side of Plaza Principal Ruiz y Zapata, the cathedral accommodates 995 people for religious services.
The demolition of the previous cathedral marked the first controlled implosion in Colombian construction history.
