St. John the Baptist Cathedral, Tulancingo, Neoclassical cathedral in Tulancingo, Mexico
The St. John the Baptist Cathedral features a symmetrical facade with two bell towers and stands at the center of Tulancingo's main square.
Construction of the cathedral began in 1528 under Franciscan supervision, with major renovations completed by architect José Damián Ortiz de Castro in 1788.
