Concatedral de San Nicolás el Magno, Neoclassical Catholic co-cathedral in Rionegro, Colombia.

The cathedral features a rectangular layout divided into three naves, with limestone and brick walls reinforced with mud construction techniques.

The original structure from 1668 was demolished in 1793 by Bishop Velarde y Bustamante's order, leading to construction of the current building completed in 1804.

The cathedral houses the Religious Art Museum, containing a collection of paintings, sculptures, and religious metalwork from the 16th to 20th centuries.

The cathedral maintains regular mass schedules and welcomes visitors to explore its architectural elements and religious art collection throughout the week.

On March 21, 1812, the Constitution of the Independent State of Antioquia was signed within the cathedral's walls, marking a pivotal moment in Colombian history.
