Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of the Light, León, Neoclassical Catholic cathedral in León, Mexico
The Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of the Light features tall columns, symmetrical structures, and ornate stone carvings across its main facade and bell towers.
Construction of the present cathedral took place between 1876 and 1893, replacing a previous stone and clay church that served the community since 1721.
The cathedral holds daily masses and serves as the primary location for religious ceremonies, including weddings, baptisms, and annual festivities in León.
The cathedral maintains regular visiting hours from early morning until evening, with guided tours available in multiple languages through the administrative office.
The cathedral contains an exceptional pipe organ that produces music through hundreds of metal and wooden pipes installed during the late 19th century.
