Morelia Cathedral, Catholic cathedral in central Morelia, Mexico
The Metropolitan Cathedral features two 66-meter towers constructed from pink quarry stone, with classical Herreresque bases and multicolumned neoclassical tops.
The construction of this religious building began on May 6, 1660, under Bishop Friar Marcos Ramirez Del Prado and took 84 years to complete.
The cathedral houses a monumental pipe organ containing 4,600 flutes that produces exceptional sound quality during regular musical performances and religious ceremonies.
The cathedral opens daily for visitors and holds weekly illumination displays on Saturday evenings, showcasing the architectural details through modern LED systems.
Local regulations mandate that no building in Morelia may exceed the height of the cathedral towers, preserving its dominant position in the city skyline.
