Chilpancingo Cathedral, Neoclassical cathedral in Chilpancingo, Mexico.
The cathedral features a symmetrical design with two 70-meter-high bell towers and a central dome, constructed in white stone with Tuscan columns.
In 1813, General José María Morelos convened the First Congress of Anahuac at this cathedral, where he proclaimed Mexico's independence from Spain.
The cathedral contains separate naves dedicated to the Holy Sacrament and the Virgin Mary, reflecting Mexican Catholic traditions through its architectural elements.
The cathedral opens daily for religious services and welcomes visitors who want to explore its interior spaces and historical significance.
The cathedral's frontispiece displays the eagle from Iturbide's imperial coat of arms, marking its connection to Mexico's independence period.
