Zacatecas Cathedral, Cathedral in Zacatecas, Mexico
The Cathedral of Zacatecas displays three distinct facades adorned with stone carvings, statues, and architectural elements in Renaissance and Baroque styles.
Construction of the cathedral began in 1731 under architect Domingo Ximénez Hernández and reached completion in 1752, with the north tower added in 1904.
The main altar features an impressive 17-foot-high altarpiece covered in 24-carat gold, displaying eleven religious images with the Virgin of Assumption at the center.
