Cathedral of Cúcuta, Neoclassical cathedral in central Cúcuta, Colombia.

The Cathedral of San José extends across Santander Park with stone veneer facades and Romanesque architectural elements forming its main structure.

The cathedral's foundation stone was placed in 1889, following the complete destruction of the previous structure during the 1875 Cúcuta earthquake.

The cathedral maintains its position as the religious center of Cúcuta, housing the remains of First Bishop Luis Hernandez and paintings by Salvador Moreno.

Located at Avenida 5 #10-73, the cathedral welcomes visitors daily from 6:30 AM to 6:00 PM with regular Catholic services throughout the week.

The cathedral's organ, donated by Rudesindo Soto, first played on March 19, 1920, during the feast of San José.
